OK, I agree. Something in the Python PortGroup could take care of
these settings, but in any case the defaults should not influence all
python ports. You would end up with
   PortGroup python 1.0
   pypi_something something
anyway, but yes, certainly better than having two PortGroups for
almost no big added benefit..

What is a good alternative for them?

Wasn't that the double negation? ;)

No, of course not. I wasn't aware about the option. Thanks for
pointing it out, even though if you want to inform the others, you
might want to do that in a different way. I have a tendency to delete
e-mails with subject that looks like a reply to a SVN commit and so
might others.

But now that the functionality is there, it might make sense to
automate it even further.
