py30-tkinter can't activate: Not a directory

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I can't activate py30-tkinter. I'm using MacPorts 1.6.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5. python30 @3.0rc1_0 is installed.

Perhaps it means this non-directory:

$ ls -ld /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/lib/python3.0              
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin  24 Sep 20 01:37 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/lib/python3.0 -> /opt/local/lib/python3.0
$

There was no problem activating py25-tkinter @2.5.2_0 or py-tkinter @2.4.5_0.

The py30-* ports use --prefix=${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0 but should be using --prefix=${prefix} as py25-* does.

The problem occurs because ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/lib/python3.0 is already known to the file_map.db as a symlink. Now the requested path wants to add a new item below this path, but it fails as it hits a file and that triggers the "Not a directory" error.

I just hit this bug too, which I see it's still valid. Is it going to be fixed?

I see that both the python2.6 and python3.0 Portgroups define

set python.prefix	${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/${python.branch}

but that the python2.5 and python2.4 Portgroups do not. Would a simple and valid fix be to remove this line ?

Activation seems to work despite the error message. The error message appears (unsurprisingly) for all (several others at least) py30-* packages.

[blb@…]

I think the 'not a directory' issue would be fixed for 2.5 by #16334 and 3.0 by #17795 (2.6 has the better framework implementation). While 2.6 isn't heavily used yet, I haven't seen any bugs against its framework implementation, so it definitely should be safe for 3.0 and probably for 2.5

This particular instance of the problem (at least) was fixed by r46197/r46202.
