Help with porting Python libraries

Hello.

I've got a system where I had to install a few Python libraries with 
pip, but I don't like this, since pkg info will not list them.

Thus I'm trying to port them, but I never ported Python libraries 
before; so, before I submit my work, I thought I'd ask if someone more 
experienced than me might have a look at it.

My first attempt was at IMAPClient: I copied another port 
(net/py-GeoIP2) and modified it; this is the Makefile I came up with.

"port test" gives some warning, but seems to say it's ok.
Anything wrong?

  bye & TIA
	av.
