Yes, it's different. The ports tree is continuously maintained to follow latest revisions of the software and to provide enhancements, fix bugs, etc. I committed some changes to the python port yesterday. If you're only interested in python you can get the latest bits by FTP from ftp.freebsd.org. cd to /pub/FreeBSD/ports/lang and get python.tar. I think you can also get the port from the web page (http://www.freebsd.org/ports/). If you want a more general way to stay up to date with the ports collection, check the handbook, chapter 16, ``The Cutting Edge: FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-stable''. tg
