Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is
often compared to Tcl, Perl or Scheme.
This is a meta port to the Python 2.x interpreter and provides symbolic links
to bin/python2, bin/pydoc2, bin/idle2 and so on to allow compatibility with
minor version agnostic python scripts.
Do not depend on this port.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- Introduce PYTHON2_DEFAULT_VERSION, the version of the default python2
binary in $PATH. It can be set in case the user wants to use a
specific python2 version as a default. Its behaviour is similar
to the existing PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION and fixes a small issue with
package builds for different python versions.
- Outline that PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION always takes precedence for a
specific python major version.
- Update lang/python2 to use PYTHON2_DEFAULT_VERSION and bump the
PORTREVISION to let the installed port catch up with the change.
- Allow PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION to overriden by a user choice, if
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION is not set to a python3 port.

- Move the symlink magic for the default python version into lang/python
and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal
of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
- Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2,
bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on.
- Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3,
bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.
