py27-cairo will not build universal

I cannot build py27-cairo with the Universal variant.

Correct, you cannot install py27-cairo universal because py27-numpy does not have a universal variant -- by default. By default, py27-numpy builds with atlas support, but this unfortunately means it cannot build universal. If you don't care about atlas support, but you want a universal build, you can do that by installing py27-numpy with the universal atlas and explicitly disabling the (by default enabled) atlas variant, like this:

sudo port install py27-numpy -atlas +universal

Same answer for py26-numpy (#27772).

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Ha. Of course I meant "with the universal variant".

That should be fixed now in r76869.
