git_revision issues with scipy/numpy/matplotlib

[Stephen Webb]

I installed py27-numpy / scipy / matplotlib using macports, and it ran without failing.

When I run Python I get the following error:

$>> which python

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

$>> python

Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr  9 2012, 20:52:43) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    from version import git_revision as __git_revision__
ImportError: cannot import name git_revision

I get the same error for all three packages. Is this a MacPorts issue or a different issue?

I am running OS X 10.6 with the Intel Core i5 architecture. At one point I thought this was a 64-bit versus 32-bit issue, viz.:

>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', '')

but I would have thought the MacPorts install would have resolved that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
