Just quickly looking at the current subports in the tree shows the following number of packages for the different py-?? subports: 11 (py25-), 387 (py-26), 1274 (py-27), 16 (py-31), 23 (py-32), 198 (py-33), 715 (py-34), 800 (py-35), 832 (py-36).

We should completely remove 25, 26, 31, 32, 33 subports. The 34 needs
some more love (making sure that we actually migrate everything to 3.6
etc.)
I didn't know we had any leftovers from python 2.5, 3.1 or 3.2.

It just needs some cleanup work.
