Thank you very much

It is very hard to decipher exactly what all the python code in mpv is ​attempting to accomplish, but to solve your immediate problem, install python-2.7 and try your build again and you should be good to go.

Looks like it needs to either change waf.python or not overwrite the dependency added by the waf portgroup.

Thank you very much, this has been solved.

i did

sudo port install python27 

but without

sudo port select --set python python27

as has been suggested by macports;

afterwards,

sudo port install mpv

ran through with

  mpv has the following notes:
    The maintainer ships his personal config file in
    * /opt/local/share/doc/mpv/examples/config-maintainer.
    
    You are strongly encouraged to copy this file to either
    * /opt/local/etc/mpv/mpv.conf (globally for all users of the system) or
    * ~/.config/mpv/config (only for your current user)
    and adjust it to your needs.
    
    If you previously had your configuration file in
    * ~/.mpv/config
    please migrate it to
    * ~/.config/mpv/config
    which is the location preferred by upstream.
    Sadly, your system is incapable of utilizing mpv's hardware decoding
    features.
    
    The example config file will not include a hardware decoding option. Consult
    ``man mpv'' for further information.
    
    To play Bluray discs with AACS encryption, decryption key database file
    "keydb.cfg" needs to be placed at:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/aacs/ (on macOS, or)
    * ~/.config/aacs/ (on other darwin).
    You can easily find this file on the internet.

very fond of this program!

EDIT: don't know if

sudo port install python27

was necessary or not but now it is installed mpv for lion 10.7.4
