[116220] trunk/dports/python

[Eric Gallager]

The one thing I'd caution against is removing any py24* ports that have no
newer versions. I cannot think of any off the top of my head, but I guess
that would just be something to check for while removing the py24* ports,
i.e., making sure that they have a version available for a newer python
before removing it.
