We’ll have to see the log. Could you run the following commands and attach the main.log file that’s mentioned at failure?

% sudo port clean py27-numpy py27-setuptools
% sudo port install py27-setuptools

Your snippet doesn’t quite include the whole error. Could you attach the entire file using the “Attach file” button above, under the ticket description?

This appears to actually be python27 failing to parse your /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist.

Start MacPorts python2.7 and run this to confirm:

import platform
platform.mac_ver()

That is meant to return something like this:

('10.10', ('', '', ''), 'x86_64')

Hi, I'm using python27-apple and after running the commands, I got

Hi, I'm using python27-apple

Try it with /opt/local/bin/python2.7.

I'm not seeing a problem installing the latest setuptools from source with any Python 2.7 I have on OS X 10.10. Perhaps the system file has been modified. It should look like this:

Hi, thanks a lot for your help! I found out that the system file has been modified and I changed it back, it works very well now! Replying to nad@…:
