Tauthon is a backward-compatible fork of Python's 2.7.18 interpreter with new
syntax, builtins, and libraries backported from Python 3.x.
Python code and C-extensions targeting Python 2.7 or below are expected to run
unmodified on Tauthon and produce the same output. But with Tauthon, that code
can now use some of the new features from Python 3.x.
This is not an official Python release. Because of its new features, while
preserving 2.7 compatibility, Tauthon reports 2.8 as its major/minor versions.
Non-exhaustive list of new features:
- Function Annotations
- Keyword-Only Arguments
- "async" and "await" Syntax
- Argument-less "super"
- New Metaclass Syntax
- "nonlocal"
- "yield from" Syntax
- "concurrent.futures" Module
- UTF-8 as the default source encoding
===> The following configuration options are available for tauthon-2.8.5.20240706:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
IPV6=on: IPv6 protocol support
LIBFFI=on: Use libffi from ports instead of bundled version
LTO=off: Apply Link-Time Optimizations (implies OPTIMIZATIONS)
NLS=on: Enable gettext support for the locale module
OPTIMIZATIONS=off: Enable code optimizations (notably PGO)
PYMALLOC=on: Enable specialized mallocs
THREADS=on: Threading support
====> Unicode support: you have to select exactly one of them
UCS2=off: Enable UCS2 Unicode Strings
UCS4=on: Enable UCS4 Unicode Strings
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Note that some standard Python modules are not included as they require
additional dependencies. These are:
- bsddb
- gdbm
- sqlite3
- tkinter
If needed, they should be provided in other ports. Porters welcome!
lang/tauthon: Update to latest commit after 2.8.5
Highlights:
- email.generator: Fix handling of Unicode messages when not wrapping.
- Support compilation by GCC 14.
As these changes are very minor and upstream has not created an official
patch level for them, Tauthon's internal version/patchlevel has been
left unchanged at 2.8.5.
This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

lang/tauthon: remove past expiration date.
Keep this port deprecated, as it is a Python 2.7+3.X clone.
Nothing in the tree currently uses this port, but www/palemoon will
if it is ever resurrected.
Mk: switch from PYTHON_PORTVERSION to PYTHON_DISTVERSION
This brings python framework in consistense with handbook recommendations
to prefer DISTVERSION and simplifies adding prerelease versions of
python

[NEW] lang/tauthon: Backwards-compatible fork of Python 2.7 interpreter with
Python 3.x features
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note this is not fully connected yet, and needs further changes to integrate
with flavors, addition to Mk/Uses/python.mk (or some equivalent USES=tauthon)
that may need discussion first, for instance, on the package name prefix.
This is committed to serve as a common test bed and for experimentation.
