I've installed python27 on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) using Macports. Here is the output for sudo port select --list python:

Available versions for python:
    none
    python25-apple
    python26-apple
    python27 (active)

But when I type the python command, it's running python26:

rod:~ $python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Feb 11 2012, 09:09:16) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

I've tried uninstalling my Macports pythons (I used to have the python31 and python25 macports as well) and reinstalling, but to no avail.

I should note that I recently had to do a time machine restore due to a hard drive failure, and I've been finding that some of the soft links seem not to have restored properly. I wonder if this could be a source of my problems here. Any tips?

Does your .profile still have the /opt/local paths prepended to $PATH? If its not present then despite being selected you wont get it by default because it symlinks the version to /opt/local/bin/python
