Great - you can certainly submit a PR when you have a (mostly) working version.

> Path where pip installs : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
> Path where macports installs : ./opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages

The install path (without the “dot” in front) seems fine. It would probably be useful for you to take a look at the MacPorts guide (https://guide.macports.org/ <https://guide.macports.org/>) and, more specifically, Chapter 5.

> Am I missing anything obvious here cause I have no prior experience installing local ports.

That’s hard to tell without looking at the Portfile and/or trying it. You can submit a PR and get feedback over there or, if you’d like some suggestions before submitting a PR, just point us to your Portfile (I couldn’t find a clone of the macports-port repository on your GitHub).

Best,
Renee
