subversion-python25bindings 1.5.5_0 Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

[jxraynor@…]

When trying to use the subversion-python25bindings port, I get the following problem:

>>> from svn import fs
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort trap

I'm running this on OS X 10.5.6 with the python 2.5.4_0+darwin_9+macosx port. Cursory searches on the web indicate that the lib /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py25-1.0.0.0.dylib is linking against Apple-provides libs when it shouldn't be. For example:

> otool -L /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py25-1.0.0.0.dylib |grep /System
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.1)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 34102.0.0)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 32.0.0)

Make sure you have the python_select port installed, and used it to select python25:

sudo port install python_select
sudo python_select python25

[jxraynor@…]

I had already done that, but I tried it again with the same results:

jxraynor> port installed |grep python

python25 @2.5.4_0+darwin_9+macosx (active) python_select @0.2.1_0+darwin_9 (active) subversion-python25bindings @1.5.5_0 (active)

I'm resubmitting the text I just submitted to get it formatted better.

This line:

Skipping org.macports.activate (python_select +darwin_9) since this port is already active

indicates that the python bindings weren't rebuilt after python_select was run.

After you've selected the macports python, do this:

sudo port -f uninstall subversion-python25bindings
sudo port --clean all subversion-python25bindings
sudo port install subversion-python25bindings
}}

... and let us know if it works for you then.

Thanks.  That fixed the problem, though I didn't need the '--' before the 'clean'.

I should note that I used macports to install trac, so python and the svn bindings got installed automatically as dependencies and I never had a chance to run python_select before the svn bindings were built.  Should something be added to the svn bindings port to check that some version of python was python_selected before it gets built?

Replying to jxraynor@…:

Thanks. That fixed the problem, though I didn't need the '--' before the 'clean'.

Yeah, sorry that should have been clean --all (the --all is not usually necessary, but I add it in case people have archivemode on).

Probably. The pythonbindings port(s) predate the way python_select works now, so they probably need to be updated somehow (and/or modified to use the macports python even if it's not the one python_select has selected).
