 Hi Volodymyr,
 
 While it is a desirable (and planned) long-terms goal to have consistent
 behaviour in the ports tree, there is not *yet* a formal or specific
 documented policy regarding Python module packaging in FreeBSD.
 
 A number of maintainers *do* however, make changes to upstream modules
 by explicitly setting zip_safe=False in setup.py, or overriding the use
 of setuptools with plain-old distutils, resulting in the module being
 installed uncompressed.
 
 For those modules or ports that *dont* currently do this such as
 www/trac, the end-user *can* use the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
 variable that points to a writable area of the filesystem to address the
 behaviour.
 
 In short, I recommend that this PR be changed, assigning it to the
 maintainer of the www/trac port for follow-up and resolution.
