 I'm updating it right now on github, I just ran out of time yesterday.

 the version of Python. This shouldn't be necessary, `wxPython` 3.0 should
 work with Python 2.6 just as well if necessary, I just wasn't aware that
 any package would really benefit from it and I tried to avoid supporting
 all the versions from Python 2.4 up.

 We want to keep python2.6 support for pyphant, since python2.6 is still
 very actively used in the scientific community (on Linux systems). The
 weird wxPython dependency comes from the fact that there was no
 py26-wxpython-3.0 macports package.
 I'm not so familiar with the macports community. Maybe python2.6 is not
 used there anymore. Then we could drop python2.6 support for the macports
 versions of sogl and pyphant, but we do not plan to drop python2.6 support
 for sogl or pyphant in general.

 As far as I know, sogl has been developed for the use in pyphant. I dont't
 know who else uses it now. Apparently no macports project.
