Description
Would it be possible to create a port for the Sherpa Python modelling and fitting package ( http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/sherpa/ )?
Sherpa is part of the larger CIAO package ( http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/index.html ), but I think packaging that with Macports is too hard.
But it is possible to get the standalone Sherpa version to work with Mac system or Macports Python (as opposed to the CIAO Python): http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/contrib/sherpa/ http://www.astropython.org/tutorial/2010/1/Installing-Sherpa-standalone-for-X-ray-analysis
The advantage is that sherpa would then be available together with all the other Macports python packages, as opposed to only with CIAO Sherpa.

I’ll look into it.
I've asked at http://cxc.harvard.edu/cgi-gen/wonderdesk/wonderdesk.cgi if they'd be willing to do this. Let's see ... if not I'll give it a try.
