python, port select and group

[Björn Raupach]

Dear group,

I am not very familiar with groups and the port select command. Maybe someone can shed some light.

At first I assumed it sets the default symlink for the command in /usr/bin, but then I don’t seem to understand the output of port select —summary

Name     Selected     Options
====     ========     =======
awscli   py34-awscli  py34-awscli none
maven    maven3       maven3 none
mysql    mysql56      mysql56 none
pip      none         none
python   none         python26-apple python27-apple python34 none
python3  none         python34 none

Why is python in more than one group? If I call python from the command line it launches the python3.4 even though port select shows that none is selected.

port select —set python python34 yields an error: Selection ‘python34’ for ‘python’ failed: symlink: /opt/local/etc/select/python/current -> python34: file already exists.


Thanks guys!
