 Hello --

 This Python 2.5 error has been pervasive in my trying to install ports, &
 this gcc5-related error is the most recent instance.  Will you please
 help?

Comment:

 You are on macOS 10.12 Sierra. As the error message says, python25 is not
 supported on OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later, so uninstall it:

 {{{
 sudo port uninstall python25
 }}}

 If you want to use python 2.x, use python27 instead (or python26, if you
 really want).
