>Description:
py-dbf fails to byte-compile with the Python version forced to 2.4:

byte-compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbf/tables.py to tables.pyc
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbf/tables.py", line 1731
    result._current = 0 if result else -1
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
byte-compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbf/_io.py to _io.pyc
byte-compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbf/__init__.py to __init__.pyc
writing byte-compilation script '/tmp/tmpJaSBOf.py'
/usr/local/bin/python2.4 -O /tmp/tmpJaSBOf.py  File "/
usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbf/tables.py", line 1731
    result._current = 0 if result else -1
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
removing /tmp/tmpJaSBOf.py

USE_PYTHON is updated to require Python version 2.5+.  This was noticed
during a tinderbox build with the following options set:
PYTHON_VERSION=python2.4
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.4

Port maintainer (wen at FreeBSD.org) is cc'd.
