Dear all,

http://people.freebsd.org/~mva/python-wrapper.diff now contains the
following changes:

- new lang/python2 port for wrapping lang/python2X
  creates the following symlinks:
  bin/2to3
  bin/pydoc2
  bin/idle2
  bin/python2
  ...

- new lang/python3 port for wrapping lang/python3X
  bin/2to3-3
  bin/pydoc3
  bin/idle3
  bin/python3
  ...

- new lang/python port, currently wrapping either lang/python2 or
  lang/python3 (hopefully lang/pypy in the future, too!)

  creates the following symlinks:
  bin/2to3
  bin/pydoc
  bin/idle
  bin/python
  ...

All relevant existing lang/python ports need a revision bump and an
UPDATING entry is required telling users to reinstall lang/python.

If there are no opinions against that change, it will be committed on
the weekend.

Cheers
Marcus
