 > I'd like to hear your opinion about this. Is there a method for easily
 converting a PyPI/setuptools python package into a MacPorts package?

 It's not too hard to do a python port like this by hand.  Most of the work
 is done by the python PortGroup.  See any of the existing py-* ports for
 examples.  Since we support multiple parallel installed versions of
 python, a python port typically includes subports for each version of
 python that is supported.  Right now, we are trying to whittle the number
 of python versions supported to something like just python27 and python34
 but python26 and python33 are not unheard of as yet.  But again this
 depends on what versions of python your packages support.

 Having said that, there IS a tool for making a Portfile from PyPI,
 [source:trunk/dports/sysutils/pypi2port pypi2port] that you might want to
 look at. It's fairly new, however, and I see there are a few tickets on
 the current version so I'm not sure how solid it is as yet.

 See #47140, #47141, #47143 and

 {{{
 port info pypi2port
 }}}

 for basic information.

 I'm copying the author who can give you the full details.

 Just for my curiosity how many different packages are we talking about?
