+ <p>We are pleased to announce the availability of support for
+ conflict-free Python package support across different Python
+ versions, based on the USES=uniquefiles feature recently
+ introduced to the Ports framework. This means that you can, in
+ theory, mark a Python package as buildable and installable in
+ parallel for different Python versions at the same time on the
+ same host. The package building tools however do not support
+ this feature yet and the Python team will work closely with
+ portmgr and pkg developers to enable support on a global ports
+ and package scale.</p>
+
+ <p>In May and June a huge clean-up operation took place to
+ remove the last bits and pieces targeting easy_install. In the
+ beginning of July we committed the final changes to remove
+ easy_install support completely from the ports framework. This
+ greatly simplifies the infrastructure and allows us to
+ modernize and maintain it with less effort.</p>
+
+ <p>We added Python 3.4, removed Python 3.1 after its end of
+ life, updated the setuptools ports to version 5.1 and PyPy's
+ development version to 2.3.1. The latest Python 2.7.8 and an
+ updated setuptools will hit the tree shortly.</p>
+
+ <p>Our upstreaming effort continues to produce good outcomes for
+ simplifying maintenance and reducing complexity.</p>
+
+ <p>Looking forward, one of the top priorities will be to comply
+ to the Uses framework in the foreseeable future and to roll
+ out a consistent maintainer policy for integrating new
+ Python-related ports into the tree.</p>
