As a relative newcomer to trying to use Macports, I would like to understand 
the following:
- when requesting something to be installed (in my case Matplotlib) why does it 
install Python as I have Python already installed separately (directly from 
Python.org)?
- do the multiple installations of python cause problems?
- why is GCC 4.3 installed when the computer already comes with GCC 4.2?
- If I install something with easy_install does that play nice with the Macport 
installations?

I suppose basically I am asking how do Macport installations play with other 
existing or future elements to be installed?

Thank you for any insight.

Christopher
