>Description:
	New port devel/py-boto, the Amazon Web Services library. Needed for duplicity 0.4.3
        (PR for that update forthcoming).

        Testing showed one problem for me on 7-CURRENT/amd64. When using python 2.4, setup.py
        does not correctly install into the appropriate site-packages, but to
        build/bdist.freebsd-7.0-CURRENT-amd64/egg instead. Some Googling indicates this might
        be a more generic problem having to do with the python 2.4 distutils on amd64:

           http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-python&a=2007-04&m=3555243

        Hopefully the person processing this bug will be able to tell whether this is the case,
        or whether there is a problem with the port. It does work with python 2.5 on 7-CURRENT,
        and 2.4 on 6.1/x86.
