We are pleased to announce the availability of conflict-free - Python package support across different Python versions based - on the USES=uniquefiles feature recently introduced to the - Ports framework. A Python package can be marked 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 is to comply with - the USES framework in the foreseeable future and to roll out - a consistent maintainer policy for integrating new - Python-related ports into the tree.
