 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.

 patches.  I am waiting for stable 64-bit cocoa support and am using py-qt4
 in the meantime.

 Actually, I had a lengthy mail discussion about this with Robin Dunn,
 because it really doesn't make much sense to require people to have a
 different wxWidgets only in order to have wxPython, so there should always
 be a stable wxPython for a stable wxWidgets  (the different wxPython
 releases are usually minor tweaks only, though one has to admit that
 wxWidgets team has not been the fastest on Earth to deliver new releases:)
