Hi,

I also committed to my personal repository the only two ports which
depend on py-wxpython30 or py-wxpython-devel:
- py-winpdb
- py-robotframework-ride (it depended on either 2.8 or 2.9, but I
removed dependency on 2.8 completely; a few minutes ago I received an
email that there are issues with version 2.9, so maybe 2.8 needs to be
added back after all)
and both seem to start ok. I didn't do extensive tests because I have
no clue how to actually use the software.

I also committed two obsoleted ports py27-wxpython-devel and
py-wxpython30, but I didn't test them yet and I'm not exactly sure how
to properly write obsolete subports, so I would be grateful for
feedback on that one as well.

Three other packages depend on wxpython 2.8. I tried to change py-dsv
to use py27-wxpython-3.0. It compiled, but I have no clue how to run
it and when I tried to run something, it failed with errors unrelated
to wxWidgets. Two more packages are left, py-pyface and py26-pyphant.
Maybe they don't depend on wxWidgets 2.9 for a reason, I didn't test
anything yet. But it doesn't really matter since none of the three
depend on the currently broken py*-wxpython30/devel.
