I meant if we would change python24 to drop some standard modules like
the current python25 port does, py-foo and py25-foo's dependencies
would be the same.
Not sure this is 100% same but almost the same I assume.

No problem, but Python project now recommend users to use python2.5,
not 2.4. Providing a lot of ports to python25 users would encourage users to
use python2.5. Some people don't bother to write reports even if they want.
I like to add more py25- ports to make python25 looks more *atrractive*.

Python2.5 disables common modules by default, but
python2.4 doesn't. See dports/lang/python25/files/patch-setup.py
{{{
# This global variable is used to hold the list of modules to be
disabled.
-disabled_module_list = []
+disabled_module_list =
["zlib","_hashlib","_ssl","_bsddb","_sqlite3","_tkinter","bz2","gdbm","readline","_curses","_curses_panel"]
}}}
IMHO, all python pors should be as similar as they can be.

These are provided as seperate ports. For example py25-hashlib, py25-zlib
and others. I don't know what the advantage of that was, but we already
had that discussion once.
Portfile writers should include correct dependencies.

I think that's OK, but the thing is python24 doesn't drop these modules.
It's a weird...

If we were going to change this, it would require to change dependencies
in nearly all py-* ports.

Yes, we probably have to check py-ports that was not in py25 ports
{{{
$ port list |egrep -i '^py-' | cut -d" " -f1
| sort -u > py24
$ port list |egrep -i '^py25-' | cut -d" " -f1 | sed 's/^py25/py/' |
sort -u > py25
$ wc -l py2[45]
338 py24
109 py25
447 total
$ comm -2 -3 py24 py25 > py24-only
$ wc -l py24-only
259 py24-only
}}}
How about create py25- ports of all 259 py24 only ports?
To create py25-ports, we need to know the port need zlib or hashlib, which
helps identify this py24 ports should be fixed.

Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
From a different point of view, that MacPorts has lots more python2.4
ports
than python2.5's seems weird to me.
(Python 2.5 is the current stable, Python 2.4 series will be no longer
released anymore)
Should I open another ticket about this problem?

No, py25-foo can have different dependencies than py-foo. I don't know
what you wanted to tell us with this.
And there is no problem that we have more py-* ports than py25-* ports. We
just add what people request. If nobody needs a port, but it is in the
tree, it is just more work for maintainers. So if you need some port, ask
for it.
PS: This kind of discussion would have been better on the mailing list.
