Thanks.
Recently, py26-pyobjc2 was replaced by py26-pyobjc and py25-pyobjc2
was replaced by py25-pyobjc. Maybe the same change needs to be made
to py-pyobjc2 to merge it into py-pyobjc.
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?
As far as I know, Python in MacPorts should generally work. Of course
individual ports may be broken, for which tickets should be filed.
OK. I'll be more systematic and file tickets.
And as Joshua said, you might not want to be using the Python 2.4
versions of these ports; you may instead want to use the Python 2.6
versions of these ports, e.g. py26-pyobjc.
The problem is that py-matplotlib requires requires python 2.4. Hence
the Python version breeding program that's going on on my Mac ;-)
But the benefit is that I'm learning how it all works (albeit slowly)
