Looking through the ports tree, the very unofficial standard for Python ports *seems* to be to use the py- prefix for ports which install Python modules (libraries, packages), whereas standaone applications which just happen to be written in Python don't have the prefix. (gadfly, glimmer, sketch, pmail, mailman, grail, pygmy, zope(!), etc., etc.) I've checked this before with tg (who maintains the Python port itself) and he concurred. That said, I agree that the boundary between a module and an application may be fuzzy (esp. where Python is concerned), so I'm willing to accept guidance in this... :-) -- Johann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
