I am against this change. rubber works very well with python24 or apple's python (be it in tiger or in leopard) and as rubber installs outside of python's path I don't see the point of requiring a particular version.

Making it depend on python_select would be a good idea however.

How was it a maintainer timeout? He responded in comment:1.

As python_select can't depend on any specific version of python, this won't work. Until we get a better dependency engine, my advice would be to add variants for each python version (+python24, +python25 etc.).

This should be done by python_select, not by rubber or any other port that does not install as a python package.

Specifying the python binary to use with --python=${prefix}/bin/python will not point to a python executable if the user has not specified a python version using python_select.

After installing python_select,

% ls -l /opt/local/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 11 2008-06-10 10:52 /opt/local/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python

This is enough for rubber to work.

Wow, python_select didn't do that last time I used it. Great!
