[Tutor] Help with python in MAC OS 10.6

[Barbara Heliodora G. Rodrigues]

Dear tutor,
I'd like to ask for help with an issue I have with python. My MAC is with OS 10-6.8, darwin kernel, 64 bits. For some reason I updated macports and it automatically updated python to 2.7 with a 32 bits library, and it is giving me lots of trouble. I can't install any new software that uses python, and recently I tried to use some plot (matplotlib) routines that were working fine before, simply didn't work, the window with the plot didn't open.Is there a way to force macports to install a 64bits version of python?I downloaded and installed the 3.4 and 3.1 myself, but still the computer only sees the version macports installed.Thank you!Regards,
Bárbara
