python 2.6 port questions

[Brian Barnes]

Hello,

I am considering upgrading my macports install, and part of that would  
likely involve going from py25-* to py26-*.  However, when looking at  
available ports, I see that py25-pyx, py25-zlib, and py25-tkinter all  
exist, but their py26- equivalents are not listed.  In some cases  
(zlib, tkinter), a 3.0 port is listed.  However, a message on macports- 
dev suggests that perhaps something is fundamentally changed with zlib  
in the py26 ports [1].

For anyone who's already taken the plunge, will the py26- ports do  
everything py25- does?  Or will I be missing pyx, tkinter, and zlib?   
As someone who has submitted a change to the py25-pyx portfile  
previously, I may suggest that the pyx-specific parts of the py25-pyx  
portfile could probably be copied straight over to a py26 port, and  
encourage someone with cvs access to give it a shot (please!).

Thought I'd ask here before trying to install stuff or filing tickets...

thanks,

Brian
