python27 @2.7.3_0 cannot import module 'random'

[dboris (Boris D.)]

After fresh install of macports on Mountain Lion, python27 gives the following error:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import random
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 47, in <module>
    from os import urandom as _urandom
ImportError: cannot import name urandom

Not sure if it's related, but the version reported by python is also wrong: 2.7.2, while the installed and activated port should be 2.7.3.

Replying to borisd@…:

After fresh install of macports on Mountain Lion, python27 gives the following error:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33) 

This is Apple's Python included with OS X, not MacPorts'.

Not sure if it's related, but the version reported by python is also wrong: 2.7.2, while the installed and activated port should be 2.7.3.

Further evidence of above.

If you want to use MacPorts python27, run "python2.7" or else use "sudo port select python python27".
