py-petsc4py @3.4: fails to parse for subport py33

[petrrr]

I observe the following parsing problem after a sudo port -v selfupdateon my system (OS X 10.8.5).

Creating port index in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports

The port py33-petsc4py seems not to be available then:

Does anyone have an idea of why this breaks for only the python33 subport?

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

It turns out that petsc4py doesn't support python 3 at all so I removed those subports in r116601. Can you try selfupdate again?

[petrrr]

At the moment I still cannot confirm that the problem disappeared -- the change has not yet propagated to the tarball -- but I would assume it is highly probable.

In any case, the fact that Python 3 is not supported, does not explain why the parsing of the TCL Portfile for one single subport fails here. At most missing Python 3 support would break installation or runtime.

Will report back later, when the update becomes available.

Okay the update is now available and parsing works now as expected:

--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

I also don't know why this failed for python 3. If someone does figure it out, please respond to this ticket. For now, I'm going to close it.
