port select python version not updating all PATH's

[kbradwick@…]

When executing;

sudo port select --set python python27

or any other installed python version, not all paths are appended to the PATH environment variable. For example the command pip should map to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pip-2.7. But the only way to execute the correct pip is to use pip-2.7 every time. This is a pain and could be avoided if the path /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin was appended to the PATH env on select.

Other installed script (via pip) do not work because of this too, e.g. django-admin.py

"port select" does not modify the PATH. It only creates or changes specific symlinks.

The request to add "port select" support for pip is #36178.
