If that's true, what purpose do they have at all ?

In this concrete case, I have Python class which acts as 
an interface to the Novation Launchpad. I want its ports
to connect to the launchpad, as any other connection
wouldn't make any sense at all. I know the names of
the required ports, but not the numbers.

Ciao,
