Hello, I'm coming accross a few ports that are in the tree as we speak, that do not actually install correctly with Python 3.x but aren't marked as 2.7 only. There seems to be 2 cases: 1. incompatibility in setup.py or related, thus failing in configure 2. incompatibility in the code itself, thus failing in byte_compile The ones in 2 fail with PYDISTUTILS_AUTOPLIST in install, because the files cannot be compiled and thus are missing when using the plist. I've got a few in PRs, few in the queue to become PR's, but perhaps a broader effort is needed? I'm willing to help, if an exp-run or something similar would generate a list. PS: A common error is: `except Exception, var:`. This can probably be fixed with a REINPLACE_CMD that can be standardized, but so far, bringing the port up-to-date with upstream fixes the problem (notable exception being www/py-beautifulsoup32). -- Melvyn
