After following the instructions at http://astrofrog.github.com/macports-python/ then I installed wxpython with:

sudo port install py27-wxpython

This command succeeded but did not result in an importable `wx` package:

```
mac% pythonw
Python 2.7.2 (default, Mar 5 2012, 17:39:56)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

>>> import wx

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core_.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
```

I think this is the same as this thread:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/baypiggies/2011-January/007356.html

I'm currently trying the suggested fix:

```
$ port upgrade --force --enforce-variants \
py27-wxpython python27 +universal
```

But it would be nice if it just worked originally.
