py27_wxpython

[Ulrich Wienands]

Ok, so I did my sudo port -d sync. It works & updates a whole bunch of stuff.

Retry to install py27-wxpython, but now... it is no longer there:
--------------------
[UBC-PowerBook:~] uli% sudo port -d install py27-wxpython
Error: Port py27-wxpython not found
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
--------------------
Sure enough; the sync deleted py27-wxpython. It added
py27-wxpython-devel, which neeeds wxWidgets-devel. Trying that one,
and it bombs:

-----------------
So now I am stuck with no more py27-wxpython and a development version
what I cannot use because the wxWidgets version won't install... not a
happy situation.

What gives?
