 > Again just now I did a fresh install of MacPorts from scratch

 That wasn’t what I asked. I asked (a) whether you had ever had MacPorts
 previously installed on that machine and, if so, (b) whether you’d
 uninstalled all ports before removing it. I ask because this is the only
 reasonable way this situation could have come about:

 1. You install MacPorts.
 2. You install the `python27` port, which installs
 `/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7/IDLE.app/Contents/Info.plist`, among
 other things.
 3. You delete `/opt/local` (or whatever) //without// uninstalling
 `python27` first. Uninstalling `python27` would have removed
 `/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7/IDLE.app/Contents/Info.plist`.
 4. You reinstall MacPorts.
 5. You try to reinstall `python27`, but activation fails because of the
 orphaned `Info.plist`.
