The python setup file was written for version 2.4, I’d like to use it with 2.7. I did not find a configure script and the Makefile does not use the CC, etc. variables, so will have to be patched.

An old setup.py has a fairly good chance of still working fine with
python 2.7. You could try generating an initial Portfile with pypi2port;
the result will not be perfect but it saves some work.

The python portgroup documentation is at
<http://guide.macports.org/#reference.portgroup.python>.
