X11 - wxWidgets and wxWindows in dports build aqua by default, but python
doesn't.

As for Python. As soon as there is a framework version of Python that
can be installed via a destroot for packaging, I'll add it to
DarwinPorts. Or if someone can figure out how to hack the current
version to do it...
similarly I have an Portfile for an X11 version of SciPy, and an adapted
one for aqua - but the inability to install Python Framework via a
destroot is a blocker for that.
DarwinPorts aims to integrate where practical - so we depend on our own
version of Python because the OS version is broken (as the fix packages
available show) and because we don't want to slap cruft into the main
part of the filesystem.
Well, I didn't follow all that, but it sounds like the gist is what I
suspected:
1) The DarwinPorts python packages don't use Apple's Python
2) The DarwinPorts python doesn't play well with Aqua.
3) This may be fixed in the future, if someone can figure out how and
put in the time.
4) I can use DarwinPorts to install libs needed by python packages, and
use them with Apple's python.
Have I got that right?
Yep.
