Not all py24 and py25 subports have py27 equivalents. At first sight it seems that quite some of these are 
no required anymore because either part of the standard library (replaced_by python27 ???) or old unmaintained software. But this probably needs some more attention and maybe some packages py27 subports may need to be added. 

Should we use a ticket to track this process?
