The state of packages based on Python ports

[Paul Hoffman]

OK, so that last one went nowhere, let me try a more general topic. Nearly all of the packages in the packages system for Python-related ports are for Python 2.6 *only*. Those packages cannot be applied to Python 2.7 or Python 3.x.

Is there a good reason for this, particularly in light of the much larger installed base for Python 2.7 than Python 2.6, and the ever-increasing number of packages that require Python 3.x? Is it just inertia here, or something deeper?
