First, I don't use python, so I'm not directly affected by this.
Second, I don't think it's reasonable to _require_ that a user needs
to use any additional tools (such as portupgrade or portmaster) to do
something with the ports system. I do think it's reasonable to provide
instructions such as, "If you use toolA, do X, for toolB do Y, and if
you don't use a tool do Z, etc."
That said, if someone can explain what it is that needs to be done, I
will be glad to help write instructions for doing it with portmaster.
Doug
