python27: destroot fails with SyntaxError

[TheTanster (Kok-Yong Tan)]

I first did a

sudo port -v selfupdate

which finished successfully. I followed with

sudo port -v upgrade outdated

which stalled on the Python 2.7 module. I then used

sudo port -vp upgrade outdated

to upgrade the other modules around the error (which seemed to finish successfully). Upon coming back to try

sudo port -v upgrade outdate

thinking that having built other modules around it might resolve the issue but it again stalled on the Python 2.7 module at the same spot. I attach the log file.

Build log for Python 2.7 package

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The error in the log is:

:info:destroot SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/test/pickletester.py', 646, 21, '            self.loa$s(badpickle)\n'))

However I wouldn't put too much faith in that error yet, since this was not a clean build attempt. Please "sudo port clean python27", try again, then attach the new main.log.

[TheTanster (Kok-Yong Tan)]

Okay. I tried

sudo port clean python27

and it blew up but this time with what looked like a conflict with python26 (it tried to install a file that python26 or one of its modules was sitting on). Looking at my build tree, I see that I had python26 also present, which I don't think I need. So I removed all python26 and py26 ports with

sudo port -v uninstall --follow-dependents python26

and then did a

sudo port -vf install wireshark +gnutls +ipv6 +python27 +libgcrypt +libsmi

which took a little while to complete but seems to have succeeded in getting python27 to also rebuild and activate along with wireshark.

Now I have what I think is an xauth problem trying to start up wireshark:

bash-3.2$ sudo wireshark  
Password:

(wireshark:45627): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
bash-3.2$ wireshark

(wireshark:45631): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
bash-3.2$

which I'm trying to research (unless somebody knows the fix for it off the top of their heads...)
