Summary

devel/codesearch-py: Python library for accessing Chromium CodeSearch

The codesearch Python library provides an interface for talking to the
Chromium CodeSearch backend.

The primary entry point into the library is the codesearch class. Various
message classes you are likely to encounter are defined in messages.py

In addition, the library also includes facilities for maintaining an
ephemeral or persistent cache in order to minimize generated network
traffic.

Test Plan

• portlint -AC output looks fine.
• poudriere testport builds fine on 10.3/i386, 10.3/amd64, 11.0/i386, 11.0/amd64, 12.0/i386 and 12.0/amd64.

Looks OK.

Note:

Current code says PORTNAME (codesearch, 404 in PyPI) does NOT equal DISTNAME (codesearch-py) which is disconcerting.

Be careful with naming of python packages that are named from repository names (not PyPI) as many do not match. Check PyPI for their existence first, even under different names. Ideally get upstream to register a PyPI name and use that (independent of the repository name).

I'm tempted to recommend defaulting PORTNAME to DISTNAME (codesearch-py in this case) where the package doesn't exist in PyPI.

• Use DISTNAME

[cpm]

• Rename to codesearch-py

I just changed PORTNAME to codesearch-py.

Thanks for reviewing the changes!

Looks good, recommend asking upstream to register codesearch-py PyPI name :)
