Users with a GDB that supports [1] Python extensions will automatically
load the extra debugging extensions when debugging programs that are
linked with libpythonX.Y.so.foo.
This enables extensions like 'py-bt' and 'py-frame' as described in
the Fedora Wiki Article: Easier Python Debugging [2], which can be
useful for debugging Python program state from crashes in C extensions,
for example.

preparatory step to convert bsd.python.mk into a USES file.
- Use NLS_LIBS instead of NLS_LDFLAGS as done for lang/python27 (r357486)
- Use buildbottest in the regression-test: target

The FreeBSD Python Team warmly welcomes Python 3.4 to the Ports tree:
- Add lang/python34
- Add devel/py-setuptools34
- Add Python 3.4.0 docs to lang/python-doc
Release Announcement and Major Features:
https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/
This also marks the next stage of a cleaner, much-closer-to-upstream
approach to Python on FreeBSD, that builds upon the hard work of the
entire FreeBSD Python team over the last year.
This port is built "entirely" from scratch, retiring as much of the
legacy, workarounds, patches and hacks from the existing Python
ports as possible.
Of particular note: static + shared dual-build is gone, as it was flaky
at best, grossly untested upstream and caused more issues than it
solved. It is replaced by a shared build by default. The static python
library remains installed and usable.
Major changes in this structure are:
- Replace dual static and shared in-tree build with shared-only.
- Use options helpers
- Replace plat-freebsd* hacks with a lighter weight alternative
- Strip all libraries and shared extensions
- Only retain patches that are absolutely necessary
- Replace static disabled_module_list with one from upstream
- Retain NIS and sparc64 workarounds from python33
- Deprecate SEM option, no longer optional.
- Deprecate PTH option, no longer maintained or supported upstream
- Deprecate FPECTL option, no longer maintained or supported upstream
- Add upstream issue references & breadcrumb annotations where possible
