I don't think "port select" registers its links anywhere. These files are created by the python select group. You ought to be able to delete them. > /opt/local/bin/2to3 > /opt/local/bin/idle > /opt/local/bin/pydoc > /opt/local/bin/python > /opt/local/bin/python-config > /opt/local/bin/pythonw > /opt/local/bin/smtpd.py > /opt/local/etc/select/python/current > /opt/local/man/man1/python.1 > /opt/local/share/man/man1/python.1 > /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers > /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python > /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Resources > /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current python3: > /opt/local/bin/2to3-3 > /opt/local/bin/idle3 > /opt/local/bin/pydoc3 > /opt/local/bin/python3 > /opt/local/bin/python3-config > /opt/local/bin/python3m > /opt/local/bin/python3m-config > /opt/local/bin/pyvenv > /opt/local/etc/select/python3/current > /opt/local/man/man1/python3.1 > /opt/local/share/man/man1/python3.1 ipython: > /opt/local/bin/iptest > /opt/local/bin/ipython > /opt/local/etc/select/ipython/current > /opt/local/share/man/man1/ipython.1 ipython2: > /opt/local/bin/iptest2 > /opt/local/bin/ipython2 > /opt/local/etc/select/ipython2/current > /opt/local/share/man/man1/ipython2.1 pip: > /opt/local/bin/pip > /opt/local/etc/select/pip/current I initially thought that these were created by ipython and ipython2, but their base files seem to disagree, so I don't know where these are from. > /opt/local/man/man1/ipython.1 > /opt/local/man/man1/ipython2.1 I assume these are parts of "libpng" and "qt4-mac" or "qt4-x11".
