sudo port -d install python27 +universal

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

If you're on 10.6, why are you trying to build universal for ppc and i386? What's your universal_archs set to in macports.conf?

[jyrkiwahlstedt]

There was anyway a problem with universal builds in python27, now that should be ok, at least for the architectures I have

[therealdave.myron@…]

Still failing for me too. "-universal" works. (My macports.conf file has universal archs of i386 and x86_64).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You should probably file a new ticket and attach the main.log; it builds fine for me, and this ticket is old.

[therealdave.myron@…]

True. There's another ticket (#28349) that is a similar issue and is newer. I've attached more thorough info there.
