I've looked at the ports in the python folder. The only one that overrides the categories erroneously is py25-mpdclient2. Maintainer Cc'd.

There's also py-svipc which overrides the categories in its yorick-svipc subport; this is fine but causes a spurious lint warning for that subport, which the author has already acknowledged with a comment in the Portfile.
