I am having a hard time trying to install the Shogun machine-learning toolbox via MacPorts. It seems that the only version MacPorts has declares Python 2.6 as a dependency and as a result MacPorts downloads and installs Python 2.6, numPy for Python 2.6 etc. The problem is I have Python 2.7 already installed and a host of other packages, including numPy, that I want to use with shogun already installed under Python 2.7.
Has anyone had success using shogun with Python 2.7. I couldn't find any documentation stating it only works with 2.6, so I assume 2.7 should work.
It looks like it needs to be converted to a python Portgroup port where the python version is implied from the current python see py-scipy for an example depending on py-numpy.
Also see the current threads on the macports mailing list for octave.
