Question about a new Python port

[Mikhail T.]

Hello!

Attached is a shar for a new port -- of the bencode-module 
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bencode/>. Everything is fairly straightforward 
about it, except:

 1. Just like devel/py-setuptools is creates/updates the
    site-packages/easy-install.pth. However, using the same method of cleaning
    up the file as the setuptools will not work, when more than one port updates
    the file. The .dist extension for the backed-up version should, probably, be
    replaced by a port-specific one -- so that each port creates its own backup.
    Or am I misreading it?
 2. The new port also drops an egg -- without even the egg-info file -- maybe,
    all such ports should be forced (by bsd.python.mk) to properly unzip and
    install the contents? Instead of unzipping at run-time every time? It works
    either way, I'm sure, but it seems to me, the .egg concept was created for
    the benefit of people, who do not use anything like the Ports system.

Thanks for the feedback. Yours,

    -mi
