NEW: py-http-parser

[jkrage@…]

New port submission for py-http-parser from ​http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/h/http-parser

HTTP request/response parser for Python compatible with Python 2.x (>=2.6), Python 3 and Pypy. If possible a C parser based on http-parser from Ryan Dahl will be used.

Port is needed as a dependency for other submissions (e.g., py-restkit).

Portfile for py-http-parser

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

What does "If possible a C parser based on http-parser from Ryan Dahl will be used." mean? How is this picked up? Where is it found? Is it another port? If so, it should be made an explicit dependency. Is that dependency build-time only or also runtime?

[jkrage@…]

The C code is embedded within this package, and embedded as the parser.so file under the python site-packages installation. The usage example that the author provides is below, showing the fallback from the C-driven python to the python-native code:

# try to import C parser then fallback in pure python parser. try:

from http_parser.parser import HttpParser

except ImportError:

from http_parser.pyparser import HttpParser

One other note. I haven't run into this (yet?); from the author's readme about installation:

Or install from source:

$ git clone git://github.com/benoitc/http-parser.git
$ cd http-parser && python setup.py install

Note: if you get an error on MacOSX try to install with the following arguments:

    $ env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" python setup.py install

Is not Macport's base already taking care of this?

I slightly edited your Portfile (see r122378), so I you are okay with it I would commit that version to trunk. Please let me know if you want to become maintainer of this port.
