--- Comment #6 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
Is removing USES=python correct if it needs Python at runtime for the control
script?

Does it only support a particular subset of Python versions? Does USES=python
need a :<version-spec>?

If it's only required at runtime, ',run' may be required. However, if the
script produces .pyc/pyo files upon first invocation, the files should be run
through Pythons standard 'compileall' function to produce and package these,
otherwise the resulting files will be orphaned on the system on deinstall.

Note also that any scripts invoking Python should invoke (shebang) using the
specific version of Python the port has been built with, or uses, using either:

  - PYTHON_CMD, or 
  - LOCALBASE/sbin/foo-{PYTHON_VER} (with an additional LOCALBASE/sbin/foo
version pointing to it). See USE_PYTHON=concurrent

We should also match upstream's documentation with respect to what the name of
the script is (with or without .sh extension)
