Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 ken.cunningham.webuse@…]:
 > There are a couple of idiosyncracies with this one. It uses an unusual
 build system. For some reason that I have not yet been able to debug,
 there is noticeable pause between the build phase and the destroot phase
 -- the build system is doing something, but I can't figure out what it is.
 It seems to be waiting for some command to finish, and then times out. So
 don't be too impatient with it -- it seems to always finish.

 This would be nice to fix but is not a showstopper.

 > I should specify that it should use python27 for building somewhere in
 the portfile. I asked it to install python27 versions of the dependencies
 it requires. The build script appears to just 'shebang' python, so perhaps
 the best way I could add that would be to set a build environment variable
 to python27.

 Yes, you must somehow inform the build system that it must use MacPorts
 python2.7.

 Instead of hardcoding `27` in the python dependencies, use the
 `python.version` variable so that, if you later change the python version,
 you only have to do so on the `python.default_version` line instead of in
 multiple places.

 You should remove the `name` and `homepage` lines; the `github.setup` line
 sets those for you.

 Instead of setting `destroot.cmd` to `/usr/bin/true` and then defining a
 `post-destroot` block, just define a `destroot` block.

 Why are you specifying commit 29d2e06bf5cd3d575015e23c638ca9e5a10ee29c
 instead of using the 0.61 tag?

 You define an `appname` variable, but then don't use it in `notes`.

 When you want a newline in `notes`, usually you should just type an actual
 newline (i.e. press the return key on your keyboard), rather than using a
 `\` line continuation and a `\n` newline.

 There should not be two newlines at the beginning of `notes`.
