py-shiboken: /opt/local/bin/shiboken install conflict for 2.6 and 2.7

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

I have py27-shiboken installed. Trying to install py26-shiboken fails because both try to install /opt/local/bin/shiboken :

--->  Installing py26-shiboken @1.1.2_1
--->  Activating py26-shiboken @1.1.2_1
Error: org.macports.activate for port py26-shiboken returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/shiboken is being used by the active py27-shiboken port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate py26-shiboken' to force the activation.

Installing it in such a way that there are no conflicts is a real pain. You could install everything in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7, but then py27-pyside (and anything that depends on pyside/shiboken) needs to be patched to find py27-shiboken in a non-standard place. I'd rather leave everything in their expected place, since this is what most users expect. I suspect it is not common to have multiple version of py??-shiboken active.

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

I noticed this issue because I tried to install py27-ipython +pyside in addition to py26-ipython +pyside. I agree it's not very essential, so if it's a lot of work to make it work, feel free to close this ticket.

Ok, closing it then. Sorry I can't be of more help. Patches are welcome, though!
