py27-tz @2015.2_0 activation fails

[scooter.phd@…]

py27-tz fails to activate -- builds correctly, installs correctly, activation fails. I could force it to activate, but that would cause later issues.

If your /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz/__init__.py does not belong to a registered port, how did it get there?

Well, might it be that you installed pytz manually at some point? Is __init__.py the only file in the pytz directory?

I could reproduce this by doing a "manual" port uninstall -f py27-tz; sudo pip install pytz, which resulted in the /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz not managed by macports.

The issue can be resolved by removing /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz and then reinstalling py27-tz

closing as invalid - other software can't be installed into /opt/local
