You are wrong that nobody is going to use it. This port is used together 
with science/abinit. And Abinit is a major software for performig DFT 
(Density Functional Theory) computations to compute quantum electron 
densities in molecules. It is used in quantum chemistry, and DFT comes 
up in at least 10% of chemistry papers now. Walter Kohn 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Kohn) got Nobel Prize for DFT in 1998.


PY_FLAVOR vs. FLAVOR: you said before that you was undecided and didn't 
think about it. If this has changed, and PY_FLAVOR is now recommended, I 
will use it then.
