These warnings I am not too worried about...

yup. From the C++ perspective that could be right, but that's not  
where I want to get at. I want py-matplotlib to work...

Ok, here's I propose to proceed:

I implemented a wxpython variant and make sure that wxpython (WXAGG)  
is used if the user specifies this variant, but is   definitely  
switched off otherwise (circumventing matplotlibs auto-detection).

I have changed the gtk2 variant to behave the same way (it did  
already for GTKAGG, but not for GTK).

py-matplotlib builds with either variant, but with wxPython it  
crashes upon "import pylab". I will report the problem upstream.  
Anyway, that's what I get when building against wxPython:

DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ 
_Users_jochen_source_macports-trunk_dports_python_py-matplotlib/work/ 
matplotlib-0.90.0" && /opt/local/bin/python2.4 setup.py build'
setup.py:267: DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package  
is no longer automatically generated or actively maintained.  Please  
switch to the wx package as soon as possible.
   import wxPython
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core.py: 
13967: UserWarning: wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch
   warnings.warn("wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch")
WXAgg's accelerator requires wxPython
running build

Seem to confirm my previous thoughts on version mismatch and looks  
like a real upstream change is necessary;(

I will check in the current version, although the wxPython variant is  
broken. But that is better than the old Portfile, which would always  
be broken if current wxPython is installed.

Greetings,
Jochen
