python25 framework build

[Isak Johnsson]

Dear Mac-Flossers!

This is how I got a framework build of python25. It's a strange fix,  
but I don't know how to do it better. Anyhow, I hope it can provide  
some information so we can get a smooth framework into the portfile.  
Also, I wish to thank you all MacPorts workers for your great  
contributions.

Rationale: framework is needed for ipython+matlotlib+wxagg and GNU  
Radio. I want the MacPorts python package rather than a manual  
install, because I use so many other packages depending on it.

Not sure if --enable-toolbox-glue without --enable-framework would  
satisfy wxpython, but reading some mail about pythonw, everyone  
mentions the framework builds.

In the python25 portfile, add this:

variant framework {
     configure.args-delete --disable-framework
     configure.args-append --enable-framework=${prefix}/Library/ 
Frameworks
     configure.args-append --enable-toolbox-glue
     patchfiles-delete patch-configure
     patchfiles-delete patch-Makefile.pre.in
}

...and remove this (they will be built with 2.5 as filename suffix):

foreach bin {idle pydoc smtpd.py} {
     move ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/${bin} \
          ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/${bin}${branche}
}

$ sudo install python25 +framework
...build goes on, and fails during the build stage...

$ cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_py 
thon25/work/Python-2.5.1"
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-shared --mandir=/opt/ 
local/share/man --with-cxx=/usr/bin/g++-4.0 --enable-framework=/opt/ 
local/Library/Frameworks --enable-toolbox-glue
...(this line came from config.log)...
$ sudo make
$ cd
$ sudo install python25 +framework
...build restarts, now reconfigured and working...

I "solved" some module path problems this way (perhaps the real  
solution lies in the omitted patches?):

$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages /opt/local/ 
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5

Sincerely,
