>Description:
devel/py-istring doesn't work since setup.py does not install neo/istring class :). So what the point to hold some istring thingy, that doesn't install istring?

You can check this with python (example from README):

>Fix:


>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >>> from neo.istring import istring
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 ImportError: No module named istring
 
 or you just can read pkg-plist to see that there is no any istring.
 
 Conclusion: 
  - port is unmaintained,
  - upstream is disappeared (distfiles are hosted on FreeBSD ftp), 
  - library is broken, 
  - nobody depends on it in the ports tree
 
 so it's safe to remove that.
