<p>We are currently working on cleaning up the
<tt>lang/python*</tt> ports to improve the compatibility with
the original upstream build behaviour and to lower the need for
&os;-specific build patches. A first step was made in September
by reducing the flags injected into the different Python
interpreter versions.</p>
<p>The first tasks for supporting the installation of packages for
different Python ports have been done. A new metaport structure
has replaced the original Python port behaviour and will be
enhanced over the next months to enable improved installation
support of packages for different Python versions at the same
time.</p>
<p>Plans are made to enhance the Python ports framework by
automating the insertion of byte-compiled files into
<tt>pkg-plist</tt> files. Besides the reduction of packaging
list sizes, this is also required to offer packages for multiple
Python versions.</p>
<p>PyPy was heavily enhanced over the last couple of months.
Major updates of the port solved integration issues and a new
<tt>pypy-devel</tt> port for snapshots and previews was added.
Since the PyPy&nbsp;3 release, there is a new
<tt>pypy3-devel</tt> port available to provide not only
compatibility for Python&nbsp;2.x specific scripts, but also for
those using the 3.x language specification.</p>
<p>IronPython found its way into the &os; ports tree, which
provides an implementation of the Python language based on .NET
and Mono.</p>
