I don't think there's a guide other than peering through the portgroup, located (usually) in ${prefix}/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/

That is actually not a bug! You're trying to install it directly from the directory, which is equivalent to running `port -d install py-pdfrw`. Now, since you didn't provide a py24-* subport, the behaviour defined in the python portgroup for running install without specifying a version (as opposed to specifying it, like `port install py26-pdfrw`) is to specify a dependency on the 27 version of the port (py27-pdfrw).

Since you run it from the directory I think you either don't have another port index or it is not updated, so MacPorts doesn't know where to find py27-pdfrw!
