Hi,

port search python shows me that every python2.5 port has prefix
"py25" but that of 2.4 is only "py".
If MacPorts would consider python2.4 is recommended python (due to
some known problem)
and called python2.4 port just "python", that would make sense, but
,unfortunately, it's not so.
So IMHO using py24 prefix for 2.4 port would be more intuitive.

What do you think of this?
I' like to hear some comments on this and
as a long-term goal, it would be nice to have a portnaming guildeline
for python (or ALl ports across MacPorts project)

Thanks in advance!
