Comment (by jmroot):

 Note that you can install most packages on PyPI without needing a port, by
 using a venv. For example, after installing the python311 port:
 {{{
 % python3.11 -m venv ./mesa-env
 }}}
 This creates a venv container in a directory called `mesa-env` in the
 current directory.
 {{{
 % ./mesa-env/bin/pip install mesa
 }}}
 This runs the `pip` installer inside the newly created venv and tells it
 to install the mesa module. All of mesa's dependencies are installed
 inside the venv as well. You can then run the mesa executable as
 {{{
 ./mesa-env/bin/mesa
 }}}

 Docs for venv are at [https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html].

 Because these tools are available, we generally only create ports for
 python modules if they are a dependency of some other port, or if they
 have a dependency that is available as a port but not installable by pip.
