    Convert the Python framework bits to USES=python. · 628190fa
    mva authored
    Please use USES=python instead of USE_PYTHON.
    
      USE_PYTHON=yes becomes USES=python
      USE_PYTHON=2.7+ becomes USES=python:2.7+
      USE_PYTHON_BUILD=3.3 becomes USES=python:3.3,build
      ...
    
    A new PYTHON_FEATURES variable was added, which enables certain features for a
    port and replaces some knobs at the same time;
    
      PYTHON_FEATURES=distutils replaces USE_PYDISTUTILS
      PYTHON_FEATURES=autoplist replaces PYDISTUTILS_AUTOPLIST
      PYTHON_FEATURES=py3kplist replaces PYTHON_PY3K_PLIST_HACK
      PYTHON_FEATURES=noegginfo replaces PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO
      PYTHON_FEATURES=concurrent replaces PYTHON_CONCURRENT_INSTALL
      PYTHON_FEATURES=pythonprefix replaces USE_PYTHON_PREFIX
    
    Some knobs have been deprecated and are to be removed in the near future:
    
      PYTHON_MASTER_SITES - use MASTER_SITE_PYTHON instead
      PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX - use PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX instead
      PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLNOSINGLE - deprecated without replacement
    
    Some knobs have been removed completely:
    
      PYTHON_MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR
      PYTHON_DISTNAME
      PYTHON_WRKSRC
    
    Several variables specific to the Python framework are no longer passed to the
    build environment to avoid polluting dependency builds.
    
      PYTHON_VERSION is not passed to .MAKEFLAGS anymore
      PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION,
      PYTHON_DEFAULT_PORTVERSION and
      PYTHONBASE are not passed to the make environment anymore
    
    The conversion required a couple of ports to be updated to fit the changes and
    new requirements. Those included "bsd.python.mk" directly or contained checks
    in places, for which the USES framework would fail to provide correct values.
    
    Python modules directly using the upstream Python package (such as py-tkinter
    or py-sqlite3) were updated to avoid using the now unnecessary and remmoved
    knobs from "bsd.python.mk".
