Hello everyone!
I managed to finally take a look and use pypi2port. I can’t help but notice two things:
1) No Portfile. I think it would be nice to have portfiles for our tools.
A basic porfile would be easy, but a more “pythonic” solution would be
write a setup.py with distutils. Moreover, I see that the shabang is
for bash and python is subsequently invoked… Couldn’t we use
"#!/usr/bin/env python” ?
2) Pypi2port does not support python3. Moreover, it fails to select the
correct python version, failing when the user has python3 as python
default. I think it’s a real shame, as a quick pass through 2to3 yields
a solution that, on a quick look, should work for python3 too.
That said, I’m prepared to “pythonize” it a bit more and make a portfile so it’s easy
to install. What do you think?
