I tried to install py-matplotlib for Python and got most of the way through, before being told that some port was in use, and to deactivate something (should have written it down). I then closed Teminal, reopened it and started over. I now get a message about py-objc2 failing to install (shown here just as a single install):

<xx>:~ xxx$ sudo port install py-pyobjc2

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (macholib 1.2 (/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages), Requirement.parse('macholib>=1.2.1'))

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I have no idea what this implies, but, along with my 'py-biggles' problem, it suggests to me that running Python under Macports is perhaps not a reliable process.

But as I don't yet know enough about macports, maybe there's a simple solution. Any suggestions?
