As Rainer explained in https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/4489,
the ports should not be named with the "py-" prefix and should not be in the
primary category "python". That's for Python modules that should be made
available in multiple Python versions so that other ports can use them.
But that's not what buildbot is. Buildbot is a program that we want to use for
its own sake, so its port name should not begin with "py-" and it should be in
a primary category that reflects its use. Look at the existing buildbot port.
In fact, update that port instead of creating a new one.
The python 1.0 portgroup adds the "-3.7" (or whatever version number) suffix
for programs installed by Python module ports, since it assumes they will be
provided in multiple Python versions and we don't want them to conflict. If the
port name does not begin with "py-" the python portgroup won't do that. It can
be overridden on a port by port basis but in this case the correct thing to do
is to fix the name of the port.
