py-gnome under 1.520 is inconsistent

[dgou@…]

py-gnome cannot be installed because of an inconsistency. See ​http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-users@lists.macosforge.org/msg06629.html for the gory details. One problem is that both py-cairo and py25-cairo end up having to be installed because gnome-menus pulls in py25-gtk despite being a py-gnome descendant.

For some reason, my reply to the list was lost. Meld is not the problem. py-gnome is. Or rather the dependency tree below that inconsistent.

I'll get this worked out over the weekend.

The solution turns out to be to modify meld to rely on py25-gnome and py25-gtk

The problem is that python is becoming increasingly integral into GNOME, so we have to force the entire GTK/GNOME python stack to a single python version, and when we did so, we missed meld's dependencies on py-gnome.

Thanks for addressing my ultimate concern, being able to install meld.

Curious: That leave py-gnome still broken (look at the graph more closely, py-gnome is itself inconsistent). Is py-gnome going away or will it be left around, broken? I missed the gnome/python discussions on the mailing list (just trying to understand, not objecting).

should read Part of the solution... as the wrong python executable then gets used. I'll commit a fixed and updated Portfile once I get it working, as I can not assign this ticket to the maintainer.

py-gnome and py-gtk2 will be removed from the ports tree once I verify that nothing else uses them.

Is this still an issue, or should py-gnome be replaced by py25-gnome since it now exists?

py25-cairo does not seem to end up installed anymore when installing py-gnome
