OK, so that last one went nowhere, let me try a more general topic. =
Nearly all of the packages in the packages system for Python-related =
ports are for Python 2.6 *only*. Those packages cannot be applied to =
Python 2.7 or Python 3.x.

Is there a good reason for this, particularly in light of the much =
larger installed base for Python 2.7 than Python 2.6, and the =
ever-increasing number of packages that require Python 3.x? Is it just =
inertia here, or something deeper?
