#37673: root @5.34.04 +python27 pyROOT doesn't work

     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:                |       Port:  root
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 If I install root with +python27, it is supposed to install pyROOT
 support. However, I get the following error message when I `import ROOT`
 from python:

 {{{
 $ python2.7 -c "import ROOT"
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File
 "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
 /site-packages/ROOT.py", line 85, in <module>
     import libPyROOT as _root
 ImportError: No module named libPyROOT
 }}}

 This is because libPyROOT.so (which is fine) is not found. One solution is
 to put it on the PYTHONPATH, but a cleaner solution would be to make the
 port create a link to it somewhere on sys.path, for example:


 {{{
 $ sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/root/libPyROOT.so
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
 }}}


 After creating the link, the ROOT python module works as expected.
