Use python 2.7 on mac osx using macports

usge:~ glab$ port select --list python
Available versions for python:
    none (active)
    python25-apple
    python26-apple
    python27
usge:~ glab$ sudo port select --set python python27
Selecting 'python27' for 'python' failed: symlink: /opt/local/etc/select/python/current -> python27: file already exists


usge:~ glab$ which python
/opt/local/bin/python

I want to set python2.7 as my default python, but am failing with error message above. How to fix this (I am using macports on mac osx)

I've run into this before, but I can't recall how this issue occurs. The solution I believe is as simple as deleting the symlink referenced in the error and doing the port select command again.
