[lisa.crossman@…]

Hi, I have trouble installing py27-h5py on snowleopard with Xcode 3.2.6. Have run sudo port selfupdate and sudo port upgrade outdated Have cleaned py27-h5py and trying to install or reinstall.

Unfortunately I don't seem to be getting informative errors, but :

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers py27-h5py).

That's because you are using the system python, not the one from Macports. Since Trac is not for tech support, follow-up on the ​Macports Users mailing list if you continue to have problems.
