Comment (by paulries@…):

 I just had this problem when upgrading matplotlib on a Mac with 10.6.8.
 There were at least two factors which I think were responsible for the
 hang-up:
 * I was running python w/matplotlib while installing
 * the installing left processes running and hung in the background after
 CTRL+C'ing the ''port upgrade outdated'' command

 I tried ''ps -A | grep python'' and killing the results, as well as
 clearing the install, but that didn't seem to work.  However, rebooting
 the machine and then running ''port upgrade py27-matplotlib'' succeeded.
 I suspect there was a hung process somewhere without python in the name
 that was preventing matplotlib from being installed and rebooting killed
 whatever it was.
