Generally, use MacPorts for a newer python/pip and use that pip to
install subsequent modules.
There are a few cases where you may benefit from MacPorts' pre-compiled
c modules, however you won't be able to version-pin dependencies
(MacPorts doesn't appear to have this concept).

Not a heavy user of python, but a "quick and dirty" answer would be:
installing and updating via pip might give you the latest version
faster, but you need to remember to check for updates via pip.
Installing via MacPorts would allow you to update python packages
together with everything else when you do your regular (I suppose you do
that, right?) “port selfupdate”. Also, when updates are pushed via
MacPorts they are typically tested and should work…

It appears that you can either install Python modules
(py310-matplotlib, py310-numpy, etc) either directly from MacPorts or
you can install pip (for example py30-pip) with MacPorts and then use
pip to install the modules.
Is there a recommendation on which way to go?
