I need this too.

I don't feel too strongly about any of these, so up to you what you want
to change.

- move from textproc to devel, like all other regex modules
- remove the comma and full stop in COMMENT
- I think we should point HOMEPAGE to the bitbucket page rather than pypi
- we don't have a lot of consistency for the license marker but I think
  "Apache 2.0" is more common in the tree
- tests need more work, just add NO_TESTS (or fix if you really want)

ok daniel@ to import after you decide about the above.

What's the COMPILER line for? If it's needed at all, there should be
COMPILER_LANGS=c as well to avoid dragging in gcc-libs as it's C only.

See these earlier on ports@, they set things up for tests.
