--------------------+--------------------------------
 On OS X 10.5.8 on PowerPC G4 Mac Mini, port install youtube-dl fails
 because it is using /usr/bin/python (version 2.5.1) with a more modern
 syntax.

 /opt/local/bin/python2.7 exists, but not /opt/local/bin/python.

 Darwin chicken 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:57:01 PDT
 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh

 I tried "port clean youtube-dl", and also "port select python27" but the
 latter produced an error:

 chicken$ sudo port select python27
 Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group
 'python27' does not exist.
 Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'python27' does not
 exist.
