yet, the port search here shows that it exists. do I keep trying or is something amiss? Second related question : I now have versions 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 installed for various other macport installations, and with this attempt at installing py-pythoncad, I was told to make 2.4 the default version - does this seem reasonable? thanks

It isn't find the source tarball, which isn't surprising since that version is very old (py-pythoncad was updated to DS1-R22 over 4.5 years ago). The reason for python24 is anything py-* prefixed wants 2.4, py25-* 2.5, py26-* 2.6 etc.

Probably the best thing would be for someone to make a python 2.6 version of this port and update it to the current release of pythoncad...however, since this port is unmaintained and I don't see any other tickets, you may be the first to have tried it in quite a while.

I request pythoncad be removed from the list of available software for the time being, given that, after all the time and resources committed to downloading it, it turns out it really isn't available.
