boost @1.46.1 +python31 -- error while building

[t.vierjahn@…]

sudo port install boost +python31 fails

There seems to be a problem regarding the python print() function in this port for variant python31.

​What’s New In Python 3.0 says: "The print statement has been replaced with a print() function"

---

But for this port:

• Portfile line 137: print statement is used for all python versions
  
• work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh line 282: print statement is used
  

---

The following steps did not help:

• Change Portfile line 137 to call print() function
  
• run sudo port clean --all boost
  
• run sudo port install boost +python31
  

---

But these steps did:

• Let sudo port install boost +python31 fail
  
• Change work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh line 282 to call print() function
  
• Run sudo work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh manually
  
• Run work/boost_1_46_1/bjam manually
  
• Re-run sudo port install boost +python31
  

---

I do not know whether that will also work for other python versions, but I hope it will be helpful.

Cheers,
Tom
