 When looking into a failure to build Mercurial, I found that python
 requires an enormous amount of dependencies. I found some of tickets
 related to this:

 http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18957
 http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19416
 http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19907

 All of these refer to a FAQ entry:

 http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#pydeps

 I think that the workaround suggested in 19907 (install tk variant quartz
 as step one) should be documented in the FAQ. tk is the source of most of
 the irrelevant dependencies, and using the quartz variant was the solution
 to my problem.

 Suggested additional paragraph:

 The python26 package depends on tk, which itself has many dependencies,
 due to its dependence on X libraries. If you do not require the X version
 of tk, or do not care, you can install the quartz variant, which has fewer
 dependencies.
