We are currently working on cleaning up the + lang/python* ports to improve the compatibility with + the original upstream build behaviour and to lower the need for + &os;-specific build patches. A first step was made in September + by reducing the flags injected into the different Python + interpreter versions.

+ +

The first tasks for supporting the installation of packages for + different Python ports have been done. A new metaport structure + has replaced the original Python port behaviour and will be + enhanced over the next months to enable improved installation + support of packages for different Python versions at the same + time.

+ +

Plans are made to enhance the Python ports framework by + automating the insertion of byte-compiled files into + pkg-plist files. Besides the reduction of packaging + list sizes, this is also required to offer packages for multiple + Python versions.

+ +

PyPy was heavily enhanced over the last couple of months. + Major updates of the port solved integration issues and a new + pypy-devel port for snapshots and previews was added. + Since the PyPy 3 release, there is a new + pypy3-devel port available to provide not only + compatibility for Python 2.x specific scripts, but also for + those using the 3.x language specification.

+ +

IronPython found its way into the &os; ports tree, which + provides an implementation of the Python language based on .NET + and Mono.

+ + + + Develop a high-level and lightweight Python Ports + Policy. + + Chase the unification of Distribute + (devel/py-distribute) and Setuptools + (devel/py-setuptools*). + + Add support for granular dependencies (for example + >=1.0 or < 2.0). + + Look at what adding pip (Python Package Index) + support looks like. + + More tasks can be found on the Team's wiki page (see + links). + +
