Python portgroups: 2.4 vs 2.5

[Alastair Rankine]

Hi,

With the recent release of MacPorts 1.4 it seems there is a new  
portgroup for Python 2.5, in addition to the old portgroup for Python  
2.4

Unless I'm missing something, it means that ports that require Python  
2.5 should use the new portgroup, and ports that don't should  
continue to use the 2.4 portgroup? Or is it the case that all  
compatible ports in the 2.4 portgroup are going to be migrated to the  
new 2.5 portgroup? (I'll assume not for now, as this seems like a big  
job)

So what if you want to install a python library from a port that  
happens to use portgroup 2.4 but would quite happily run under Python  
2.5? Is there a way of doing this? It seems from a short play that  
installing a port that uses the 2.4 portgroup will result in Python  
2.4 being dragged in as a dependency, even though Python 2.5 is  
installed and compatible.

Just a bit confused here, can someone point the way?
