 Typing "sudo port upgrade outdated" gave me the error:

 "
 --->  Installing python27 @2.7.3_0
 Error: org.macports.install for port python27 returned: no destroot found
 at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot
 Please see the log file for port python27 for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/main.log
 "

 I tried "sudo port clean python27", but got the same error. I went into
 the log file, as the error message suggested above & found these error
 lines:

 "

 destroot found at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot

 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/
 "

 I tried to uninstall python27, but there were dependent files &/or
 applications, whose purpose I don't know. I abandoned uninstalling
 python27.

 I then tried "sudo port -n upgrade --force python27", but got the same
 error, but with many lines of text!

 Also, "which python" give Apple's python, not MacPorts:
 /usr/bin/python
