[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I see the following error trying to build qtiplot 0.9.8.8:

I had a hard time reproducing the problem, but I think I got it.

First, I think there is a problem with py-sip, making impossible to compile py*-pyqt4 presently (reported in ticket #31594).

Then, it seems that the port (and specially its python* variants) is dependent on the selected python. A hack is thus to run:

sudo port select --set python python26

before installing qtiplot +python26.

It could then be corrected in the port itself, but I am still looking at where this could be done.

[NicosPavlov]

This diff to the Portfile should do the trick.

Committed in r85882, along with a revbump to ensure that the correct python version is used during build.
