Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field, and cc the maintainer.

Works for me. As the error message says, all the details are in the log file.

You appear to be missing the _socket module in python26.

[lucaghera8@…]

How is possible to install that through MacPort?

The _socket module is a standard part of python. Do you still see this with 2.6.7? If so, please attach your log from building python26.

Closing since there was never any response to comment:5.
python26 has been updated several times since this bug was reported, so hopefully the problem was fixed.
In any event, py26-distribute is now marked as obsolete.
