port select needs to be updated for changes in ipython 0.11

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

I've just installed the python26 version of ipython 0.11 from ticket #30521 with the variants +scientific+parallel. When I tried to make this the default ipython using python select, I get the following error:

 % sudo port select --set ipython ipython26
Password:
Selecting 'ipython26' for 'ipython' failed: could not create new link "/Volumes/Files/macports/bin/ipython-wx": target "/Volumes/Files/macports/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/ipython-wx" doesn't exist

If I activate the old version of ipython (version 0.10.1), the same port select command runs fine. Thus, I'm guessing port select needs to be updated due to the GUI switchover in ipython 0.11.

I don't think this is a base issue. The port's select files may need to be updated though.

For anyone wondering, the update to 0.11 is not yet committed; it's in #30521.

Sorry--I looked at an old ticket involving port select and it was filed under base.

Yes, thank you for the clarification. I should have mentioned that the ticket hasn't been committed.

If there was a problem with the port select command itself that would be appropriate. But this isn't.

Is this still a problem with the version that ended up being committed?

This issue has now been fixed, at least in my testing/usage.
