Re: [Duplicity-talk] strange error when doing a backup

[John Covici]

Well homebrew  did not have the latest duplicity, so I installed from
macports which installed python.  But my azure stuff was installed
using pip so that confused things more since macports did not have the
azure stuff at all.  I will have to check that terminal preference
stuff, but I am using a cron job and maybe that does not apply there.
