This is strange. All you need is

py26-scientific @2.8_2+macosx (active)

Try 'import Scientific' in a python session and see if it reports an
error.

Bug description:
I have a freshly installed FENiCS on my mac, platform OS 10.6.3. When I try to import ffc in ipython I get some errors. Referencing to some Python Scientific package needed by FIAT. The sciPy package was successfully installed with Macport (and a reinstallation of them does not help). I have the following versions: 
port installed py26-sc*
  py26-scientific @2.8_2+macosx (active)
  py26-scipy @0.7.1_0+gcc43 (active)

Sorry for keeping you all busy…
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks
