>Description:
setuptools (devel/py-setuptools) is used for every python ports since r336553.

Please consider the following case:
- py-foo (USE_PYTHON=3) which depends on py33-setuptools
- py-bar (USE_PYTHON=2) which depends on py27-setuptools

We could have only 1 pyXX-setuptools installed, either py33-setuptools or
py27-setuptools, due to limitation of ORIGIN. As a result, these two ports
can't be installed together.

This PR suggests the addition of devel/py-setuptools{27|31|32|33} for different
python versions. This suggestion received no objection among several python@
committers. It also avoids packaging failure for python ports requires Python
3.x (non-default python version), e.g. [1][2].
