+ <p>Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming
+ language. For many operating systems, Python is a standard
+ component; it ships with &os; as well. A lot of progress has
+ been made around the &os; Python ports in the last quarter.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>devel/py-distribute</tt> port has been replaced by the
+ refreshed <tt>devel/py-setuptools</tt> port, which comes with a
+ lot of features that simplify the ways of installing Python
+ packages. The change also led us to install everything through
+ Setuptools now, which resembles a PyIP a bit and allows us to
+ perform some major cleanup on the distutils installation
+ behaviour.</p>
+
+ <p>The implicit <tt>lang/python</tt> build and run-time dependency
+ was removed from the ports infrastructure. Every port now
+ depends on a specific Python version or on the
+ <tt>lang/python</tt> metaport. This prevents compatibility
+ issues for ports that depend on Python 2.x OR
+ Python 3.x exclusively, but use the <tt>python</tt>
+ command, which might point to a version of incompatible user
+ choice.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>lang/python27</tt> port was updated to version 2.7.6,
+ and the <tt>lang/python33</tt> port was updated to version
+ 3.3.3, and the <tt>lang/pypy</tt> port was updated to version
+ 2.2.1</p>
+
+ <p>We are currently working on the necessary infrastructure quirks
+ to support different Python versions for the same port. Most of
+ the work has been done and needs to be tested before it can be
+ integrated.</p>
