and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal
of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
- Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2,
bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on.
- Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3,
bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.
. lang/python27: 2.7.3 -> 2.7.5
. lang/python32: 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
. lang/python33: 3.3.0 -> 3.3.1
- update Mk/bsd.python.mk with new versions
- mark lang/python26 and lang/python31 as deprecated (set them to
upstream EoL dates)
- update docs (lang/python-doc-html)
- align databases/py-bsddb patch for python27 - most of it was applied
upstream. Raise BDB version to 4.3 atleast, according to
upstream requirements.
Many thanks to Martin (miwi) for his time on this update.

- revert erroneous threads patch in lang/python26 and lang/python27,
that was added after ports/131080. It was rejected upstream, because it's
not actually a bug, but misuse.
Gabor Pali (pgj) in collaboration with Kubilay Kocak (koobs) did an
independent investigation regard the issue. See here for details:

for an exp-run of updated python versions.
- trim Makefile headers
- remove leading indefinite article from COMMENT
- use PYTHON shortcut in MASTER_SITES
- whitespace fixes
- remove checks for unsupported versions of FreeBSD
- use static value ``33'' instead of PYTHON_SUFFIX in lang/python33/pkg-plist,
because this value is not supposed to be changed across the branch and for
consistency with other python3 ports
- remove conflicts in lang/python-mode.el with not more existing python-2.4
${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}, this generates conflicting packages.
- Create symbolic links as PEP 394 [1] suggests. ${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}
will create python and python${MAJOR_VERSION} links. In current default,
lang/python27 will create: python -> python2 -> python2.7
- Introduce ${PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION}, which will handle bin/python3 link.
At this point, lang/python33 will create python3 -> python3.3
- Minor cleanups
* Trim Makefile headers
* Remove ${OSVERSION} detection for xz, whihc is done by USE_XZ
[1] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
(PYTHON_DISTFILE variable)
- switch lang/python ports (and it's slaves) to tar.xz
I compared all the four pairs .tgz/.tar.xz and they have no content differences.

Although POSIX says the type is 'int', all BSD variants (including Mac OS X)
have been using 'unsigned long' type for very long time and its use predates
the standard long enough. For certain commands (e.g., TIOCSWINSZ, FIONBIO),
the Python value may get sign-extended on 64-bit platforms (by implicit type
promotion) and it causes annoying warnings from kernel such as this:
WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e

and also add experimental support for POSIX semaphores in FreeBSD
7-STABLE and up. The option knobs PTH and SEM respectively are
added to enable this behaviour.
Python is able to use POSIX semaphores for thread synchronization
in threading, and prefers them.
The multiprocessing module in Python 2.6 requires POSIX semaphores,
however, the FreeBSD rtld and malloc need further work to allow
a process to call pthread_create() immediately after fork() as it is
not something allowed by a strict interpretation of the POSIX specs;
therefore allow GNU Pth to be used until the situation is resolved.

runs its signal handlers, not to a random thread that happens to be
executing at the time when signal arrives. This functionality has been
lost since Python 2.3, possible cause is that the linux implementation
of POSIX threads always delivered signal to the main thread. This
bug results in rather annoying inability to terminate threading script
with ^C for example and there could be other issues as well.
Bump PORTREVISION.

Python 2.6 will be the next default python version when enough
testings of consumer ports are done. The new "2to3" program is
renamed to 2to3-2.6 and 2to3-3.0 for each version, respectively.
