youtube-dl @2015.11.21: build fails, depends on newer Python — at Version 2

Reported by: rb@… Owned by: ryandesign@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.4
Keywords: Cc:
Port: youtube-dl

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

On OS X 10.5.8 on PowerPC G4 Mac Mini, port install youtube-dl fails because it is using /usr/bin/python (version 2.5.1) with a more modern syntax.

/opt/local/bin/python2.7 exists, but not /opt/local/bin/python. 

Darwin chicken 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:57:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh

I tried "port clean youtube-dl", and also "port select python27" but the latter produced an error: 

chicken$ sudo port select python27
Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.
Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.
