py-gdal: implement the "select" mechanism

Reported by: ATL-Flaneur (Andreas Yankopolus) Owned by: petrrr
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.7.1
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: py-gdal

Description

The symlinks for Python utilities in /opt/local/bin have the version name appended onto them, for example "gdal_fillnodata.py" is "gdal_fillnodata.py-310", which breaks code expecting to find "gdal_fillnodata.py".

I have my MacPorts Python version set to 3.10, and listing ports containing gdal gives:

gdal                           @3.4.0          gis/gdal
py-gdal                        @3.3.0          python/py-gdal
py310-gdal                     @3.3.0          python/py-gdal

This is necessary to prevent the different subports from conflicting, e.g. py39-gdal and py310-gdal can't both install /opt/local/bin/gdal_fillnodata.py. Unsuffixed executables can be found in the framework, e.g. /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin.

Seems like there should be a graceful way to handle this. Maybe symlinking from /opt/local/bin to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin?

The graceful way to handle this is the "select" mechanism. The py-gdal port does not currently implement the "select" mechanism, but it could.
