The current FreeBSD/ARM __clear_cache() implementation does nothing #if
__i386__ || __x86_64__ #else abort();
cognet@ advises this is an issue for anything !Apple that is using the
libcompiler_rt provided by Clang on ARM, and requires upstreaming.
This is the root cause of abort() on import for the ctypes module in
Python, as they bundle libffi. [1]
This change patches the bundled libffi library in all Python ports, even
though it is a NOOP for the ports that use devel/libffi. These ports,
currently python31, will get the fix via ports/184517
A huge shout out to cognet@ who helped diagnose the issue and created
the patch to address it. Thank you!

With the 2.6.9 release, and five years after its first release, the
Python 2.6 series is now officially retired. All official maintenance
for Python 2.6, including security patches, has ended. [1]
Please migrate to lang/python27 or later as soon as possible.
lang/python26 will expire and be removed in January 2014.

and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal
of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
- Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2,
bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on.
- Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3,
bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.
. lang/python27: 2.7.3 -> 2.7.5
. lang/python32: 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
. lang/python33: 3.3.0 -> 3.3.1
- update Mk/bsd.python.mk with new versions
- mark lang/python26 and lang/python31 as deprecated (set them to
upstream EoL dates)
- update docs (lang/python-doc-html)
- align databases/py-bsddb patch for python27 - most of it was applied
upstream. Raise BDB version to 4.3 atleast, according to
upstream requirements.
Many thanks to Martin (miwi) for his time on this update.

- revert erroneous threads patch in lang/python26 and lang/python27,
that was added after ports/131080. It was rejected upstream, because it's
not actually a bug, but misuse.
Gabor Pali (pgj) in collaboration with Kubilay Kocak (koobs) did an
independent investigation regard the issue. See here for details:

for an exp-run of updated python versions.
- trim Makefile headers
- remove leading indefinite article from COMMENT
- use PYTHON shortcut in MASTER_SITES
- whitespace fixes
- remove checks for unsupported versions of FreeBSD
- use static value ``33'' instead of PYTHON_SUFFIX in lang/python33/pkg-plist,
because this value is not supposed to be changed across the branch and for
consistency with other python3 ports
- remove conflicts in lang/python-mode.el with not more existing python-2.4
${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}, this generates conflicting packages.
- Create symbolic links as PEP 394 [1] suggests. ${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}
will create python and python${MAJOR_VERSION} links. In current default,
lang/python27 will create: python -> python2 -> python2.7
- Introduce ${PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION}, which will handle bin/python3 link.
At this point, lang/python33 will create python3 -> python3.3
- Minor cleanups
* Trim Makefile headers
* Remove ${OSVERSION} detection for xz, whihc is done by USE_XZ

- switch lang/python ports (and it's slaves) to tar.xz
I compared all the four pairs .tgz/.tar.xz and they have no content differences.

Although POSIX says the type is 'int', all BSD variants (including Mac OS X)
have been using 'unsigned long' type for very long time and its use predates
the standard long enough. For certain commands (e.g., TIOCSWINSZ, FIONBIO),
the Python value may get sign-extended on 64-bit platforms (by implicit type
promotion) and it causes annoying warnings from kernel such as this:
WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e
