On further investigation, it seems that the new shiny as far as python
module configuration is PEP-517 and PEP-518 support:

  https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/
  https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/

which makes pip the standard for installing from a SCM system or a
checked out directory tree.  Looks like only a few modules have adopted
this as yet, but it should become a lot more common over time.

Before I leap into this with both feet, is anyone already working on
support for pep517 in the ports?

	Cheers,
