<p>We are pleased to announce the availability of support for
conflict-free Python package support across different Python
versions, based on the USES=uniquefiles feature recently
introduced to the Ports framework. This means that you can, in
theory, mark a Python package as buildable and installable in
parallel for different Python versions at the same time on the
same host. The package building tools however do not support
this feature yet and the Python team will work closely with
portmgr and pkg developers to enable support on a global ports
and package scale.</p>
