py33-logilab-common installation failure

[RivetBenoit (Benoit Rivet)]

As explained in the title : on a Mac OS X.5 PPC machine, py33-logilab-common fails to build. Lines 373 and 374 of the main.log file read :

:info:build running 2to3 on build/lib/logilab/common/test/data
:info:build error: No such file or directory: '2to3'

The command ls /opt/local/bin/2* gives :

/opt/local/bin/2to3-2.7
/opt/local/bin/2to3-3.3

The command locate 2to3 gives a bunch of results, including :

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/2to3
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/2to3

Any workaround ?

For further detail : starting from line 373, the log file reads :

:info:build running 2to3 on build/lib/logilab/common/test/data
:info:build error: No such file or directory: '2to3'

Quick fix : py33-logilab-common compiles fine after choosing python33 as the default python environment, via :

sudo port select --set python python33

It should be useful to indicate that setting the default python in MacPorts should be required before installing py33-logilab-common (and any port depending on py33-logilab-common).

I was installing from scratch py33-spyder-devel (which meant quite a lot of ports to install), and the installation went smoothly except for some dependencies : iirc, py33-logilab-common depends on bison; which was listed as one of the many ports to install but which wasn't installed before py33-logilab-common. Installing manually the required dependencies (as found when reading the main.log file) before trying again to install py33-spyder-devel seemed a good fix... But in the end, I still could not install py33-spyder-devel, since it required three ports:

py33-pylint, py33-astroid and py33-logilab-common

who depend upon py33-logilab-common; and who won't build until python33 is set as the default python on the system. Before that, which python gave :

/usr/bin/python

i.e python 2.5.1 as installed on Mac OS X.5 PPC.

Addendum : after fixing my problem, I finished installing py33-spyder-devel which now runs fine in Mac OS X.5 PPC. Thanks for the good work to all the people involved :-)

This ticket is now quite old, so it might have become irrelevant.

However, the described behavior looks like a bug. Ports should work without and default settings involved. Some call of a python interpreter would need to be replaced.
