Comment(by jjstickel@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 jmr@…]:
 > I'm unclear on why py26-wxpython depends on wxWidgets-python but all
 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.

 If I were currently using wxwidgets/wxpython, I would gladly provide
 patches.  I am waiting for stable 64-bit cocoa support and am using py-qt4
 in the meantime.
