The FreeBSD Python Team warmly welcomes Python 3.4 to the Ports tree:
- Add lang/python34
- Add devel/py-setuptools34
- Add Python 3.4.0 docs to lang/python-doc
Release Announcement and Major Features:
https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/
This also marks the next stage of a cleaner, much-closer-to-upstream
approach to Python on FreeBSD, that builds upon the hard work of the
entire FreeBSD Python team over the last year.
This port is built "entirely" from scratch, retiring as much of the
legacy, workarounds, patches and hacks from the existing Python
ports as possible.
Of particular note: static + shared dual-build is gone, as it was flaky
at best, grossly untested upstream and caused more issues than it
solved. It is replaced by a shared build by default. The static python
library remains installed and usable.
Major changes in this structure are:
- Replace dual static and shared in-tree build with shared-only.
- Use options helpers
- Replace plat-freebsd* hacks with a lighter weight alternative
- Strip all libraries and shared extensions
- Only retain patches that are absolutely necessary
- Replace static disabled_module_list with one from upstream
- Retain NIS and sparc64 workarounds from python33
- Deprecate SEM option, no longer optional.
- Deprecate PTH option, no longer maintained or supported upstream
- Deprecate FPECTL option, no longer maintained or supported upstream
- Add upstream issue references & breadcrumb annotations where possible

- 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:

Python 2.6 will be the next default python version when enough
testings of consumer ports are done. The new "2to3" program is
renamed to 2to3-2.6 and 2to3-3.0 for each version, respectively.
