Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is
often compared to Tcl, Perl or Scheme.
This is a meta port to the Python interpreter and provides symbolic links
to bin/python, bin/pydoc, bin/idle and so on to allow compatibility with
version agnostic python scripts.
Do not depend on this port.
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.

- Move the symlink magic for the default python version into lang/python
and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal
of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
- Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2,
bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on.
- Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3,
bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.
Introduce two new versions of Python: 2.6 and 3.0rc1 (finally!)
Python 2.6 will be the next default python version when enough
testings of consumer ports are done. The new "2to3" program is
renamed to 2to3-2.6 and 2to3-3.0 for each version, respectively.

Revert the default version of Python to 2.4 for the ports freeze
period. Python 2.5 brought a vast range of incompatibility to a
large number of ports, so the python@ team will do more basic
compatibility work in a private repository and merge it later.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Restrict a dependency to the real interpreter to _RUN only. This
allows portupgrade to upgrade lang/python from 2.4 flawlessly.
- So remove obsolete instruction.
- Update the main python version to 2.5.
- Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
- And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
- Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
- Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
includes me, alexbl@ and others.
