 Replying to [comment:5 nomis52@…]:
 > I don't quite understand the python problem. Do you mind explaining it
 or pointing to a port in a similar situation?

 The problem is that the variant needs to depend on a specific version of
 python otherwise the port will depend on a random version of python and if
 that version is uninstalled, then ola +python will not work. So what needs
 to be changed is that variants must be added for each version of python
 supported. For example, python26, python27, python31, etc. At least
 supporting python26 and python27 at first would be good enough. Then add
 dependencies based on the specific version of python. Finally, you need to
 specify the directory(s) for the python library(s) based on the version of
 python. Many ports do this, but you can look at the mesa or qgis ports for
 an example. I hope that's clear. I think follow-ups should move to the
 macports-developers mailing list though.
