> I'm unclear on why py26-wxpython depends on wxWidgets-python but all
other py*-wxpython ports depend on wxWidgets. In fact, I'm unclear on why
wxWidgets-python even exists. In any case, it seems like they should all
work the same way, which would allow them to be completely unified.
Please see #24350 for a full explanation and the history of the creation
of wxwidgets-python. Basically, incremental version updates to wxpython
may not be in sync with vanilla wxwidgets (e.g. wxpython-2.8.12.1 may or
may not work with wxwidgets-2.8.12). The likely reason py[!26]-wxpython
do not depend on wxwidgets-python is because the portfile
editors/maintainers do not know this and have gotten away with it so far,
but at some point, things will break.
If I were currently using wxwidgets/wxpython, I would gladly provide
patches. I am waiting for stable 64-bit cocoa support and am using py-qt4
in the meantime.
