Configuring Python3 on MacOS Macports

[Christopher Jones]

OK.

So when you say build from source, do you mean using MacPorts port for this, or are you building directly yourself (and if the later, any reason why you are not using the port ?)

When I run "/opt/local/bin/python setup.py install" it ends up buried in directories under the Macports directory structure, which isn't usable.   Maybe I am missing some ENV variables?
