Python_select fails for a non-standard framework path

[Veence (Vincent)]

My framework path (chosen when configuring macports) is ${PREFIX}/frameworks (and not ${PREFIX}/Library/Frameworks).

When I reinstalled python26, I tried to use python_select, but it ended up like this:

Selecting version "python26" for python
ln: /usr/pkg/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current: No such file or directory
ln: /usr/pkg/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers: No such file or directory
ln: /usr/pkg/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Resources: No such file or directory
ln: /usr/pkg/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python: No such file or directory
there were 4 errors selecting version "python26"!

It turns out that ${CONFPATH}/base contains a wrong path:

-> cat /usr/pkg/etc/select/python/base 
bin/python
bin/pythonw
bin/python-config
bin/idle
bin/pydoc
bin/smtpd.py
share/man/man1/python.1
share/man/man1/python.1.gz
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Resources
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python

whereas ${CONFPATH}/python26 is correct:

-> cat /usr/pkg/etc/select/python/python26
bin/python2.6
bin/pythonw2.6
bin/python2.6-config
bin/idle2.6
bin/pydoc2.6
bin/smtpd2.6.py
share/man/man1/python2.6.1
-
/usr/pkg/frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
/usr/pkg/frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Headers
/usr/pkg/frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources
/usr/pkg/frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python

so why is the base file incorrect?

suggestion for a fix

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

The diff I attached attempts to reinplace the value in base.

It first inserts the @@FRAMEWORKS_PATH@@ and then trying to figure out the path to use by removing ${prefix} from ${frameworks_dir}.

Fixed by r57391 and r57392.

When I retry, I get this error:

-> sudo port install python_select
--->  Computing dependencies for python_select
--->  Fetching python_select
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for python_select

--->  Configuring python_select
--->  Building python_select
--->  Staging python_select into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: invalid command name "select::install"
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Have I missed a step?

Okay, my apologies. It works fine, thanks.
