Comment(by null.atou@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 jmr@…]:
 > Should probably move to python26 (and fix the depends_lib) since
 python25 is not entirely working on 64-bit OS X and upstream never intends
 to fix it.
 OK, I patched Portfile of mimms as follows:
 {{{
 4c4
 < PortGroup python25 1.0
 ---
 > PortGroup python26 1.0  # but is it necessary?
 24a25
 > depends_build   port:python26
 }}}
 then install python26; port_select python26 and install mimms.
 But, indeed, mimms cannot run, because a "mimms" script was installed to
 '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/'.
 What is it? Should I do export
 PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/:${PATH}
 ? :-) Ok, it works fine.
 But I think a bin directory should be '/opt/local/bin', a lib be
 '/opt/local/lib' etc., while those of python26, root directory was set to
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/. It's very
 strange, I think.
