python25 currently doesn’t build on Yosemite, and as ​I’ll be retiring it at the end of the year anyway, we won’t be fixing it.

InsightToolkit ought to be updated to use either Python 2.7 or 3.4, though. Unfortunately, the portfile is somewhat complex and involves a lot of CMake, which I’m not familiar with. Perhaps you could ask for help with it on macports-users or macports-dev.

The version 3.16 (September 15 2009), so there is some risk for incompatibility. So maybe we want to update as well.

• The last version of the 3.x series is Release 3.20 (July 12 2010);
• Current release is 4.6.1 from September 2014.

See ​here for more details.

Update was already requested in ticket #37894.

Hello, I have the same problem on 10.11 El Capitan. I have tried to reinstall as they advice here: ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27873045/port-upgrade-outdated-fails-in-yosemite But I obtain the same error : " Error: python25 is not supported on Yosemite or later. Error: org.macports.fetch for port python25 returned: unsupported platform Error: Failed to install python25 "

Others dependencies have to be installed: "Error: The following dependencies were not installed: python25 tk Xft2 tcl xorg-libXScrnSaver xorg-scrnsaverproto" I really do not know what to do, I have to work on ITK next week… Can someone Help me, please?

InsightToolkit{,312,314}: removed in favor of InsightToolkit-devel

The last ITK 3.x release 3.20 is out in 2010, and 4.x have been there
for almost 8 years. I see no reason to keep 3.x around.

InsightToolkit (3.16.0) has been dropped in favor of InsightToolkit-devel (4.8.2). The latter does not include Python bindings. Feel free to open new issues if you need to use ITK with Python.
