can't map URL for www.python.org

[crkrenn@…]

My first problem with macports involves a fetch problem. (see error below).

The python web site was up and available.

I worked around this by downloading the tar.bz2 file to /opt/local/var/macports/sources/local/

and adding

​file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/local/ to

/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf

However, I'd like to understand what was going wrong.

Thanks!

With the latest version of port and the python25 portfile, this error no loger occurs for me. This can be closed, although I am having other difficulties with python25. I will submit a different ticket with a better title. -Chris
