"Lite" vs. "Full" Python Ports

[Arthur Koziel]

I've been running the patched python25 port for over a week now and  
can only confirm what Jannis said. There are no problems.
I tested the following ports:

	• py25-zlib
	• py25-hashlib
	• py25-bsddb
	• py25-sqlite3
	• py25-tkinter
	• py25-bz2
	• py25-gdbm
	• py25-readline
	• py25-curses

Every module works fine. Even installing the python25 port first and  
then, for example, py25-bsddb will not give the new files precedence:

$ port contents py25-bsddb
Port py25-bsddb contains:
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_bsddb-2.5.4-py2.5.egg-info
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_bsddb.so

 >>> import bsddb
 >>> bsddb.__file__
'/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/bsddb/__init__.pyc'

I've also looked through older port versions. None of them changes the  
"python.pkgd" setting. Thus those modules will always get installed  
into the site-packages directory and will not be imported.
