Do not create (or clean-up) the directory structure/Portfile if something fails
When testing the templates, I ran into a few situations where while creating the package we would stumble upon an ```upt.upt.ArchiveUnavailable: No such archive could be found``` problem.

For example, 
```
py-scitools

```

afterwards we do end up with an empty Portfile in the ```/python/py-scitools`` directory. One way around this would perhaps to first attempt to generate a Portfile in a temporary directory and only copy this over once everything finishes correctly. Or, alternatively, once we run into such Exceptions we could do some clean-up.
