(In reply to gronke from comment #5)

It's required for reasons of uniqueness of pkgname (distinct from the
portname), because the port/package is build for a (any) particular python
version, user-selectable, and will be invoked using that specific version and
so for concurrent installation and conflicts (no conflicts between concurrently
installable versions) reasons.

Said another way, when a python package supports multiple python versions
(almost all of them), then concurrently installable versions should not
conflict with each other. This means using a unique package name for the same
port origin built with different python versions, and using
USE_PYTHON=concurrent at least, and distutils/autoplist so that installed files
are not in shared/common locations, causing conflicts.

If you don't want to prefix the 'portname' (and its svn dir) to be prefixed,
that's fine, but I still would.

On the dependency front, one should depend on the respective python ports
rather than install them via pip (or any other alternate mechanism), especially
since the package already appears to declare its dependencies in the
correct/appropriate way (*_requires/entry_points/et al). 

There are plenty of python packages that only provide console_scripts/scripts,
not providing importable libraries, that use all of the standard
distribution/installation mechanics that the python ecosystem offers and
recommends. These all end up living in the version specific python environment
even if the only normal way of accessing functionality is via LOCALBASE/bin
scripts.
