#37701: Please update py-novas_py to 3.1.1
------------------------------+--------------------------------

     Type:  update            |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal            |  Milestone:
Component:  ports             |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:                    |       Port:  py-novas_py
------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Could you please update the {{{py-novas_py}}} port to version 3.1.1,
 released September 2012?

 According to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/novas/ {{{novas}}} now is Python
 3 compatible, so Python {{{32}}} and {{{33}}} should be added to
 {{{python.versions}}}.

 Python {{{25}}} should be removed from the list, because this package is
 not Python 2.5 compatible. It does install, but then on import gives this
 error for me:
 {{{
 $ python2.5 -c 'import novas'
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/novas/__init__.py", line 5,
 in <module>
     from ctypes import CDLL
   File
 "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py",
 line 10, in <module>
     from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
 ImportError: No module named _ctypes
 }}}

 One more point: At the moment the Portfile has license set to unknown. The
 PyPI page states this:

 > This software was produced by the United States Naval Observatory at the
 expense of United States taxpayers, and is therefore not suseptible to
 copyright, because a copyright would place taxpayer property under private
 ownership. Since it is not copyrighted, it cannot be licensed; it is
 simply free.

 What should be set as "license" in the Portfile?
 Does anyone know if this is BSD compatible?
