Thanks!

> As a side note: is there any mechanism, current or planned, to enable a port to work with multiple versions of Python as long as it uses something standard like distribute?  As far as I can tell the straight "py-" ports are only valid for python-2.4 and python-2.5.  A pointer to the relevant wiki section or mailing list thread would be appreciated.

py- is the prefix for python 2.4 modules
py25- is for python 2.5 modules
py26- is for python 2.6 modules
etc.

This duplication is deliberate.

Ports that are not python modules but merely use python probably should only exist as a single port (whose name does not begin with a py*- prefix, and which is not in the python category) and instead have variants for each supported version of python.
