 Hi Xiaotian,

 here some notes on the updated Portfile:

 I think above all you have not fully address Rainer's question on whether
 this should not be installed simply as an App, instead as module.

 Here some background: The python portgroup supports to modes for modules
 and for applications, this is controlled by the name of the port (py-* are
 for modules, otherwise it is treated as application). Modules can be
 installed for multiple versions of python and conflicts are avoided by
 appending the `-${python.branch}` postfix.

 In `post-destroot` you revert this behavior, making it impossible to
 install against several versions of python contemporary. As long as you do
 have only python 2.7, this will not surface, but then you probably do not
 intend to install a module and you should create an app.

 If you think this should be a module and more Python versions could be
 supported in future, you need to remove the `post-destroot` overwrite, and
 if you want script names w/o suffix, you need to use the select mechanism.

 I would recommend you to add `openmaintainer`.


 The following settings are defaults and should be removed:

 {{{
 extract.suffix      .tar.gz

 [...]
 distname            ${name}-${version}
 distfiles           ${distname}${extract.suffix}
 }}}

 Instead of `file copy` use the Macports alias `copy`

 `livecheck` should be set correctly by the the Github portgroup, so avoid
 overwriting it.
