Comment (by webbp):

 /Users/webb/src/macports-ports/ is a full copy and I am editing
 /Users/webb/src/macports-ports/python/py-pytorch/Portfile

 Thanks for telling me about the {port dir} command!

 With that, I've solved the problem now, although i'm not sure what step
 fixed it. I removed
 {/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/python
 /py-pytorch}, included only my local repo in {sources.conf}, ran
 {selfupdate}, and then {port info py-pytorch} yielded {Error: Port py-
 pytorch not found} (but it still could find other ports). Now I checked
 out local repo {py-pytorch/Portfile} and modified only the description and
 revision, did {selfupdate}, and now {port dir py37-pytorch} yields
 {/Users/webb/src/macports-ports/python/py-pytorch} as desired. It seems
 plausible that I had an error in my modified Portfile and {selfupdate} was
 falling back to the {rsync.macports.org} version.
