Where does port put its installs in osx?

I have installed scipy with port on my mac. it says all is fine:

$ sudo port install py-scipy
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for py-scipy
--->  Cleaning py-scipy

but when i pull up python, it doesn't see it:

$ python2.6
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jul 27 2011, 11:54:59) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scipy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named scipy

My path includes the port locations i've been able to find online:

... '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python26.zip', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-darwin', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg-info', ...

In fact I can't find scipy files installed anywhere along the /opt/local/Library/Frameworks etc path.

Any ideas?

The Python module that you installed isn't in the search path of the standard OS X version of Python. When you install a Python module using MacPorts it will install it's own version of Python. You can start using MacPort's version using the select command:

sudo port select python python26

Another option is to install it using the standard Python easy_install

For more information search for macports.conf, you will have all the information there. You can also man macports.conf for some details.

To change your current version of Python to the one installed with MacPorts:

sudo port select python python26

This should let you use the MacPorts version of Python that has scipy installed.
