--- Comment #4 from Dan Bright <freebsd@zaziork.com> ---
(In reply to FreeBSD from comment #3)

Thanks once more for the additional advice.

As regards building and testing my application, I've already done that and =
all
seemed fine (I manually installed the required version specific modules from
PyPi). The issue was just related to making my application available as a p=
ort
on FreeBSD 10.x.

I understand that it's not possible to install additional Python modules at
package build time using the setup.py/distutils method, due to restrictions
both on access to network, and the directories that may be touched during
install. I'm also mindful of the general consensus that it's preferable to
build dependencies from ports.

In this case, as a work-around, I guess I could write a dependency check in=
to
my application runtime (rather than rely on setup.py) which invokes the
installation of Pip3.4 if necessary, followed by the required version speci=
fic
module dependencies.

In light of this discussion, should I now change the status of this port
request to "closed", or is there a more suitable way to withdraw?
