Install Python SIP on Mac OS X

install_py-sip_on_mac.md

Installing SIP on Mac proved to be a tad difficult with this error message

$ sudo port install py-sip

---> Activating python24 @2.4.6_0+macosx Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4 already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port python24.

So, I removed the whole directory:

$sudo rm -rf /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/

and then installed py-sip

$sudo port install py-sip

Don't forget to run :

$sudo port install python_select  
$sudo python_select python24

to make 2.4 the default python interpreter
