We are pleased to announce the availability of support for + conflict-free Python package support across different Python + versions, based on the USES=uniquefiles feature recently + introduced to the Ports framework. 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.

+ +

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.

+ +

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. The latest Python 2.7.8 and an + updated setuptools will hit the tree shortly.

+ +

Our upstreaming effort continues to produce good outcomes for + simplifying maintenance and reducing complexity.

+ +

Looking forward, one of the top priorities will be to comply + to the Uses framework in the foreseeable future and to roll + out a consistent maintainer policy for integrating new + Python-related ports into the tree.

+ + + + Migrate bsd.python.mk to the Uses framework. + Develop a high-level and lightweight Python Ports Policy. + Add support for granular dependencies (for example >=1.0,<2.0). + Look at what adding pip (Python Package Index) support looks like. + Add default QA targets and functions for Python ports (TEST_DEPENDS, + regression-test, etc.) + More tasks can be found on the team's wiki page (see links). + To get involved, come and say hi on IRC and let us know what you're + interested in! + +
