On OS X 10.6.8:

$ sudo port selfupdate

$ sudo port upgrade outdated

$ sudo port install py-markdown
--->  Computing dependencies for py-markdown
Error: Dependency 'py24-markdown' not found.

Error: Processing of port py-markdown failed
$ sudo port install py24-markdown

$ python -V
Python 2.7.1

It works fine for me. Please run "sudo port selfupdate" and then try again.

Also, python 2.4 is very old. Consider using python 2.7 instead, by installing the py27-markdown module instead.

I see your output showed you already ran selfupdate. Maybe it didn't work properly. Please run "sudo port -v selfupdate" so that we see some more output, and let us know if it printed any errors.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

The only error I encountered was related to ncurses, which I presumed would have no impact on any problems with installing python modules:

Error: org.macports.activate for port ncurses returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/captoinfo is being used by the active ncursesw port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate ncurses' to force the activation.

Also, python 2.4 is very old. Consider using python 2.7 instead, by installing the py27-markdown module instead.

The last line in my original report shows that I am using Python 2.7.1. I tried installing py27-markdown as you suggested:

$ sudo port install -y py27-markdown
Error: Port py27-markdown not found

I can install both py24-markdown and py27-markdown with no problems.
