I'd like to see at least a few reports of successful testing and 
feedback from python@ folk before we look at committing. I know I'm not 
entirely satisfied with it yet.

Some specifics:

- regression test failures
- lang/python-doc-html needs updating

I think it might also be prudent to consider starting python33 from a 
blank port slate while we have the opportunity, and would like to hear 
peoples thoughts on this generally.

I've been running 2 buildbot-slaves for the python project for a number 
of months, and other than recent ZFS test failures, they both build very 
cleanly from pure upstream sources:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/koobs-freebsd
http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/koobs-freebsd-clang

Also, if anyone can provide clues as to why we build out of tree 
(portbld.static and portbld.shared) and some of the other magic bits in 
the python port, that may provide some avenues for reducing complexity 
and overhead maintaining the port going forward
