 == 64-bit support ==
 Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.1 support 64-bit universal builds (see #16349). Non-universal python (all versions) will be 64-bit when built on Snow Leopard running on a 64-bit CPU.
+
+== Converting to the unified python PortGroup ==
+Lately (summer 2011) a new unified python PortGroup has been introduced to simplify the maintenance of py{25,26,27}-XXXX ports.
+It uses subports to keep a single Portfile for all versions of python.
+
+Look at the examples to know how to convert to it...
