BUG: port numpy should depend on python24

[Christopher W. MacMinn]

Mark -

I tried to install the port py-scipy on an Intel Mac last week with  
similar results.

I did not run into problems with the python24 dependency, but I may  
have already had it installed.

I definitely encountered this one too -- after digging around for  
awhile and posting to several lists, I filed a bug report in the  
MacPorts Trac system (#12331, http://trac.macports.org/projects/ 
macports/ticket/12331).  I also contacted Erick Tryzelaar, the  
maintainer for py-numpy and py-scipy, earlier this week, and he  
seemed to be aware of this bug and said that he hoped to have an  
update out soon.

I resolved this differently than you did (by replacing it with a call  
to get_path_from_frame instead of simply removing it -- see my bug  
report above), but the end result seems to be the same for both of us:

I'm getting this too, and here I am also stuck.  Any leads?  I think  
I have exhausted my meager MacPorts skills.  I'll let you know if I  
hear anything else from Erick, and please do let me know if you  
figure out a fix in the meantime.
