In what way are we still "on" python 2.4? Ports that use python should offer variants, and should default to 2.7. python modules should use the unified portgroup and offer versions for each compatible version of python; if there existed a py-foo port of that module before the conversion to the unified portgroup, and python 2.4 is still supported by that module, then the default version should be 2.4, otherwise it should be 2.7. At a more basic level, yes, we do still offer a python 2.4 port and modules, and I'm not sure if we still need to. First step to removing python 2.4 would be to identify ports that depend exclusively or by default on python 2.4 and update them to newer python versions. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
