<p>New Mailing List</p>
<p>A new mailing list for python has been created. The list is for
discussions related to improve Python support on FreeBSD. This
is a technical mailing list. It is for individuals working on
porting Python, it's third party modules to FreeBSD. These
also include issues with python related ports such as Zope.</p>
<p>Shared and Static libraries for python.</p>
<p>Due to performance reasons, python was built as static. Hye-Shik
Chang has recently commited changes so that the python port
now installs both static and dynamic libraries. This means
that you need to change linking with not static but shared
library if you need to embed python into your shared library.</p>
<p>Zope ports</p>
<p>Zope 2.6.2 currently uses an older version of python (python2.1)
and the version was fixed for the USE_ZOPE variable for ports.
This caused problems, with dependent ports. Since the proper
fix was not easy (install multiple instances of a port),
discussions on the mailing list seem to agree to update the
Zope port to 2.7 and allow it to use the current version of
python. This update will be checked in soon.</p>
<p>Plone 2.0 is coming to FreeBSD. It's imminent release has lead to
it's maintainer holding the release of the plone-devel port.
Those who can't wait can grab it from
http://www.zope.it/Members/UlbabraB/Ports/plone-devel.tar.gz. A
lot of CMF Products for Plone has been added into the ports tree,
more will be coming soon, when Zope is updated.</p>
