 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.

 }}}

 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.
