How to: Macports select python

Question

When I enter:

port select --list python

This is the result:

Available versions for python:
    none
    python25 (active)
         


        

Answer 1

Your shell probably caches the invocation of python and does not look in PATH again. So, when you called python before port select in the same shell session, you need to clear this cache.

For bash, clear the cache using

hash -r

or simply open a new terminal window.
