Configuring Python3 on MacOS Macports

[Christopher Jones]

OK, I see.

Maybe though you could learn from what the macports port does, and try and replicate it. Note it does install stuff to ${prefix}/bin, as you want. e.g.

> port contents py37-awscli
<snip>
  /opt/local/bin/aws-3.7
  /opt/local/bin/aws.cmd-3.7
  /opt/local/bin/aws_bash_completer-3.7
  /opt/local/bin/aws_completer-3.7
  /opt/local/bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh-3.7
<snip>

so you should take a look into how it achieves that.

sudo port -s -d install py37-awscli

will force a build from source, with full debug output.

Another possibility is you clone the port and make a new ‘devel’ version of it, that takes the nightly snapshot you want instead of the released version, but uses the rest of the infrastructure just the same.

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?
