What do you think of this? I' like to hear some comments on this and as a long-term goal, it would be nice to have a portnaming guildeline for python (or ALl ports across MacPorts project)
The guideline is: use a numbered prefix if there's a good reason to. A prefix was not used for the python 2.4 ports because there was no python 2.5 at the time. Now there is, and I think it was just deemed too much of a hassle to rename all the py-* ports to py24-*.
Fixing the current issues for the python25 port, or with MacPorts having /usr/bin/python as default, would be better than just renaming a lot of deprecated ports... For instance all ports using py-gtk2 was already forced to upgrade to using py25-gtk instead... ? --anders
