Just to be clear -- this sounds like a MacPorts problem, not necessarily 
an OS-X problem.

Does MacPorts not allow a native wx? Maybe becasue you're running 64 bit?

Anyway, I guess that's why I don't use macports for python.

That's what I've been running, and I've had no real issues (Haven't 
tried the OS-X back-end) -- but I'm using the python.org python.

OK -- then a fink issue, rather than a Macports one -- same idea, though.

My impression is that neither fink nor macports do well with Mac GUI 
stuff -- unless you're talking X11.
