MacPorts install python25 and py25-gtk

I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I recently installed a version of macports that is compatible: MacPorts-2.0.3-10.5-Leopard.dmg. I am trying to use this to install python25 and py25-gtk, which I have done before on other Mac systems, although they were 10.6.*.

I already have python 2.5 on this machine, but I repeated the port install just because I had done this in the past. After macports installed, I did the following commands followed by their output.

sudo port -v install python25

---> Computing dependencies for python25

---> Cleaning python25

---> Removing work directory for python25

sudo port -v install python_select

---> Cleaning python_select

---> Removing work directory for python_select

sudo python_select python25

sudo: python_select: command not found

Needless to say python_select did not install correctly. I also tried installing py25-gtk

sudo port -v install py25-gtk

and this takes some time to install (a few hours). It seemed to install correctly, but still when I ran import gtk from my python shell i got nothing.

It seems macports is not installing the python25 and python_select, unless these are already installed and there is something wrong with the shell profile. Basically all I need is pygtk to work with my python25 that I already have. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

python_select has been replaced by port select

To see the possible pythons run

port select --list python

From that list choose the one you want and change to it e.g.

sudo port select --set python python25
