Hi All -

I apologize for what I'm sure is a very stupid question.  I'm new to
port file development so I'm pretty confused.  Here's what I'm trying
to do:

I have two python apps (I'm saying apps instead of scripts because
each contains multiple files -- I'm not sure if that's going to cause
a problem yet either), that run on the command line: HeapCL and
TorchCL.  The concept/implementation is very close to GoogleCL.  These
are command line tools that talk to a couple of WebApps (a CRM and
project management tool) and allow you to manipulate the API from the
command line.

So, what they are, in terms of files is one file (called HeapCL or
TorchCL) that is a python script and has a kind of unix executable
file, also in the same directory as the executable file is a bunch of
files and directories (still all python) that is used to support the
executable file.  As I said, almost exactly like GoogleCL.

>From reading over everything in the port development, it looks like I
need to be using the python portGroup.  But also from reading over
everything, it seems to be me that I need to get rid of some of the
phases.  But I'm assuming the python port group gets rid of those for
me (but I don't want to assume).

Another question is does the python portgroup call a setup.py file of
any kind (looking at GoogleCL's port file it appears it might)?  If
so, can I get rid of that stage.  And finally, what happens to the
files in the directory?  Do they just get copied in the same directory
as they should or do I have a problem there?

Again, sorry for, what I'm sure is a dumb question.

Thanks!

Ben
