py27-py port: activation error

[Ted Kord]

Hi Eneko

I just upgraded macports yesterday and ran into the smae problem. To fix
it, just do:

sudo port deactivate py27-py

Then upgrade as usual and this should complete with no problems.

Afterwards, you can check with:

port installed py27-py
port installed py27-pytest

which shows the ports installed on mine.
