python*-pth packages into meta-packages which will install the non-pth packages. Bump PKGREVISIONs on the non-pth versions to propagate the thread change, but leave the *-pth versions untouched to not affect existing installations. Sync all PYTHON_VERSIONS_AFFECTED lines in package Makefiles.

from the pkgsrc-wip pkg by Michal Pasternak Psyco is a specializing compiler. In a few words let us first see: What you can do with it In short: run your existing Python software much faster, with no change in your source. Think of Psyco as a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little bit like Java's, that emit machine code on the fly instead of interpreting your Python program step by step. The result is that your unmodified Python programs run faster. Benefits 2x to 100x speed-ups, typically 4x, with an unmodified Python interpreter and unmodified source code, just a dynamically loadable C extension module. Drawbacks Psyco currently uses quite a lot of memory. It only runs on Intel 386-compatible processors (under any OS) right now. There are some subtle semantic differences (i.e. bugs) with the way Python works; they should not be apparent in most programs.
