Can I use Macports to update Enthought python?

[Lawrence Velázquez]

Before doing anything funky with MacPorts, you might want to try installing pyside normally and then creating a symlink to the location Enthought expects it. So if pyside installs to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PySide, try something like:

$ sudo port install pyside
$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ sudo mv PySide{,.backup}    # save in case anything goes wrong
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PySide .

There may be an .egg-info file in site-packages that you need to back up and symlink in the same fashion.
