--- Comment #7 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #6)

Python ports have always been lowercased, except for a small class of
exceptions (Flask*) That this has 'changed in the recent past' does not cha=
nge
that.

1) PyPI package registry names are case insensitive
2) Python (upstream) package requirement (dependency) declarations can be in
any case (and are often mixed).
2) Mixed case Python portnames makes *_DEPENDS declarations error prone.

lowercase'ing Python portnames addresses some/most of that impedance mismat=
ch.

The porters handbook while a great reference, is not completely comprehensi=
ve
nor a complete reference for every rule/guideline.

It's also been documented in the Python Ports policy for a long time
