This means that you can, in + theory, mark a Python package as buildable and installable in + parallel for different Python versions at the same time on the + same host. The package building tools however do not support + this feature yet and the Python team will work closely with + portmgr and pkg developers to enable support on a global ports + and package scale.</p> + + <p>In May and June a huge clean-up operation took place to + remove the last bits and pieces targeting easy_install. In the + beginning of July we committed the final changes to remove + easy_install support completely from the ports framework. This + greatly simplifies the infrastructure and allows us to + modernize and maintain it with less effort.</p> + + <p>We added Python 3.4, removed Python 3.1 after its end of + life, updated the setuptools ports to version 5.1 and PyPy's + development version to 2.3.1.
