--- Comment #6 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to gronke from comment #5)

It's required for reasons of uniqueness of pkgname (distinct from the
portname), because the port/package is build for a (any) particular python
version, user-selectable, and will be invoked using that specific version a=
nd
so for concurrent installation and conflicts (no conflicts between concurre=
ntly
installable versions) reasons.

Said another way, when a python package supports multiple python versions
(almost all of them), then concurrently installable versions should not
conflict with each other. This means using a unique package name for the sa=
me
port origin built with different python versions, and using
USE_PYTHON=3Dconcurrent at least, and distutils/autoplist so that installed=
 files
are not in shared/common locations, causing conflicts.

If you don't want to prefix the 'portname' (and its svn dir) to be prefixed,
that's fine, but I still would.

On the dependency front, one should depend on the respective python ports
rather than install them via pip (or any other alternate mechanism), especi=
ally
since the package already appears to declare its dependencies in the
correct/appropriate way (*_requires/entry_points/et al).=20

There are plenty of python packages that only provide console_scripts/scrip=
ts,
not providing importable libraries, that use all of the standard
distribution/installation mechanics that the python ecosystem offers and
recommends. These all end up living in the version specific python environm=
ent
even if the only normal way of accessing functionality is via LOCALBASE/bin
scripts.
