to the preferred version of python (as specified by PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT). This means that cross-platform python scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" actually function on pkgsrc systems without nasty hackery. Approved by Alistair.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented
|
|
programming language that combines remarkable power with
|
|
very clear syntax. For an introduction to programming in
|
|
Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The
|
|
Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard
|
|
types, constants, functions and modules. Finally, the
|
|
Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and semantics
|
|
of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail.
|
|
|
|
Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules
|
|
written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be
|
|
dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten-
|
|
sion language for existing applications. See the internal
|
|
documentation for hints.
|
|
|
|
This package provides easy installation of the preferred
|
|
version of python (selected with PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT)
|
|
and installs a symbolic link from ${PKGBASE}/bin/python
|
|
to that version.
