py35-mayavi cannot require vtk-7.0.0_0+python35

[root-control@…]

When I execute:

port install py35-mayavi

on a fresh macports installation, it fails as it installs vtk-7.0.0_0+python27 instead of vtk-7.0.0_0+python35. Then I have to manually run

port install vtk -python27 +python35

afterwards everything is fine. I guess it is a simple fix, I am just not sure how to add it.

It is not possible to depend on a variant. py-mayavi could try using the active_variants-1.1 portgroup, though.

The Portfile already has:

    require_active_variants vtk python${python.version}

Is this not sufficient?

To the OP, what was your error message?

Sorry, I didn’t actually check the portfile. I believe that’s correct usage, so there isn’t really anything else that can be done.

No worries: another dev added the active variants line, so I was not really sure about its use. In any case, please close this ticket.
