Hmmmm... We can read the following in the porter's handbook :

"Ports that install files under PYTHON_SITELIBDIR should use the pyXY-
package name prefix, so their package name embeds the version of Python
they are installed into." [1]

For consistency, I've just named the port directory the same way. But
you're right, this may be overkill (I originally named it
python-dvdvideo before I changed my mind). Do you think it should be
changed to, e.g. sysutils/dvdvideo (but, of course, keeping the pyXY-
prefix for package name) ? Others, any comment on that ?
