Hi. 

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the port. The difficulty with a port like
py-salt is that it potentially has 400 optional dependencies, one for each
execution module. Unfortunately, it isn't feasible to include all of the
optional ports in the base package. It would be enormous.

My preference is to keep the base py-salt package as small as it can be for
essential functionality. Some execution modules will require additional Python
libraries, and those need to be resolved locally by the end user.
