Comment (by mdickens at nd.edu):

 Some re-Build instructions are in ticket #11267, but I don't think that's
 the issue ... the install of python25, in my testing, has no impact on the
 error documented here.  Following those re-Build instructions, in
 particular step (1) to update the installed ports
 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade installed
 }}}
 should have taken care of this issue for most folks.  For some reason it
 hasn't or didn't for the ticket issuer, {{{gjznituv at gmail.com}}} .

 After some discussion back and forth with the ticket issuer, I believe
 it's a version mismatch between wxWidgets and py25-wxpython.  In my
 testing, reverting back to wxWidgets 2.8.6, and trying to install
 py25-wxpython 2.8.7.1 results in the exact same error as documented in
 this ticket.  I would suggest that the Portfile for py-wxpython,
 py25-wxpython, py30-wxpython, and so forth, include some check to make
 sure the version of wxWidgets is correct, as this has been an issue before
 and will continue to be an issue so long as the versions of wxWidgets and
 wxpython need to be closely linked.
