Hello, I didn't mean it bad for the people at macports. I know you are working very hard and you have all of my respect, honestly.
I was confusing, sorry. My personal problem is that somebody convinced me about the it's-so-easy-ness of apple's products and I thought I would give it a shot. This was for me a nightmare because I felt like tight up when using that mac book pro. It was not only that I found it difficult to install matplotlib, but many other things were hard and difficult to understand... if you want to go *your* way and not apple's way. For instance encryption... take this as an example http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pau/Encrypt_Users.html In any case, again, yo have all of my respect and I thank you for helping me out when I had the macbook pro with your effort by porting all of that software.
