Getting several distribution files from  GitHub is documentted in
the Porters' Handbook.
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/makefiles/#makefile-master_sites-github-multiple

The same trick may be applied to other MASTER_SITES. For example:

MASTER_SITES= https://site1.example.com/subdir/:tag1 \
              https://site2.example.com/some-other-dir/:tag2
DISTFILES= file1.tar.gz:tag1 file2.tar.gz:tag2

> - placing the file in the propper staging/wrksrc folder

Both files are extracted under ${WRKKDIR}. If you want to extract
file2.tar.gz to other place, use EXTRACT_ONLY and extract file2.tar.gz
in post-extract target.

> - editing that file according Python requirements

You could use patch files and/or ${REINPLACE_CMD} (sed -i)
(or other programs if you want.)

> - placing the file in pkg-plist

This chapter in the Porter's Handbook might help you.
