I am trying to change my default python to python27, I executed sudo port --set python27 but ended up with following error on my Mac Lion 10.7 Error: global does not accept --set. I was trying to see if MacPorts have deprecated the –set command and has introduced a new command instead. But I was unable to find anything related to that on their news website.
-set is still there. The issue you have that you are missing a couple of arguments to the command.
It should be
sudo port select --set python python27The port command takes an action and the one here is select. port select –set then takes as first argument the group it is select for in this case python.
