Hi guys
Sorry for my late response to the recent python problems.
I just prepared a patch to switch default version to 2.5. The patch
also includes a fix for 2.5 migration problems related to egginfo
and setuptools.
Changes and notes for the patch:
* lang/python depends on lang/python25 by default.
* None of lang/python(ver) installs ${PREFIX}/bin/python but
lang/python holds all executable files as symlinks to the default
version's.
* The user can choose her default python version that serves
as ${PREFIX}/bin/python by putting PYTHON_VERSION=python{ver}
in /etc/make.conf.
* Even if the user didn't specify PYTHON_VERSION, bsd.python.mk
will determine the default python version correctly if
${PREFIX}/bin/python exists.
* ${PREFIX}/bin/python may not be available even though a consumer
port used USE_PYTHON. It'll be need to use the filename including
python version (eg. python2.5) in scripts or shebang lines.
${PYTHON_CMD} is provided by bsd.python.mk for this purpose.
* egginfo support is added. PYDISTUTILS_EGGINFO holds a filename of
egginfo and it'll be added to plist unless PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO is
defined. PYDISTUTILS_PKGNAME and PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION is added
for the ports which has different name from distutils-side.
* setuptools support is added. USE_PYDISTUTILS=easy_install
invokes setuptools installation phases and it'll add setuptools
registration/unregistration command to plist automatically. When
the binary package is architecture-dependent, port must define
PYEASYINSTALL_ARCHDEP to match the egg name.
Here's a patch for python ports and bsd.python.mk:

And a patch for few example ports; py-parsing, py-simplejson and
py-zopeInterface.

Thanks
