Some initial comments:

• Put the version in the github.setup line and remove the version line.
• Remove the unused set _n line.
• Remove py 33 34 and 35 from python.versions.

Some initial comments:

Thanks! I modified my Portfile proposal.

• Remove py 33 34 and 35 from python.versions.

I don't understand this comment. I would like to install this package for Python 3.4, which is the current Python3 on my laptop. Can I do it if I remove this line?

E.g. the py-numpy port has currently py 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 36 as Python versions.

Portfile proposal

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

For new ports, we only want to support the latest python 2 and 3 versions. py-numpy has all of those old versions for legacy reasons. It was around when those were the latest pythons.

You mention using python 3.4. Why not use python 3.6?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Also, we are actively trying to remove the older python versions. That's why we have the py-graveyard port.

Why I keep using Python 3.4: I am the responsible person of a class of 100+ students who use 20 different computer rooms each with 18 computers which I don't administrate and which are all equipped with Python 3.4. To perform tests on my own laptop machine, I need the same version of Python as the one the students use.

• It would be preferable if you could act as maintainer for this port with openmaintainer.
• Please refine the license to include the version of LGPL. Most are LGPL-3 or LGPL-3+.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

OK, it looks like it is LGPL-2.1.
