The last commit to py-pyx was r30249 which was part of a batch change  
affecting hundreds of ports:

http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/changeset/30249

So yes, emailing jmpp about this port based on that commit would not  
be appropriate.


I also don't want to commit this update, or any other python update,  
because I don't know anything about or use python. Someone who knows  
about and uses python should take care of such tickets.
