 the latest py27-requests (also affecting py34-requests) port won't install
 on mac os x 10.6

 the issue (probably the same as in Ticket #45597) is the following
 (nb : clean-ing and/or uninstall-ing the port also won't help)

Comment:

 In #45597 the error was "`no destroot found`". The cause was the user did
 not clean before trying again.

 This is not the same as your issue, which is
 "`/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
 /site-packages/requests/__init__.py already exists and does not belong to
 a registered port`".

 Why does that file already exist, if it was not provided by a MacPorts
 port? You can try forcing the port activation, but if you cannot explain
 why the file already existed, who knows how many other files already exist
 that should not be there. In that case the safest solution would be to
 uninstall MacPorts and all ports, then remove /opt/local (after saving any
 important files, such as configuration files, data files, databases), then
 reinstall the ports you want.
