errors encountered while installing Python -- please advise

[Richard Rucker]

Here's the installation command being executed:
<me>$ sudo port install py25-gtk py-serial py25-xml py25-hashlib


Here's the relevant portion of the installing script's reports:

please run

	sudo port install python_select

So should I do now?
