Examine py26-only ports

[yan12125 (Chih-Hsuan Yen)]

Some Python ports have only one py26 subport. They should be examined and there are some possibilities:

• Is Python 2.7 supported upstream? If so add py27 subport
• If not, try to patch it to bring Python 2.7 support
• If patching is infeasible, consider dropping it

Port list generated by the following command:

grep -r 'python\.versions' | grep '\<26\>' | grep -v '\<27\>' | cut -d ':' -f 1 | sed 's#/Portfile##' | sed 's#python/##' | sort

I'll look into ports without a maintainer.

py-repoze.[what/who]-*: remove ports

• py26-only ports have been broken for a while, with no interest in

fixing the issue

• there are no dependents
• last updates by upstream seem ~7 years ago so development has stopped

and newer Python versions are presumably not supported

• add modeline

The package has not been updated in the last 9 years. Let's keep it in
the ports tree for now, but adding support for Python 3 seems unnecessary.

The first (and only) release of this port was on GoogleCode on May 6,

2007. It seems to have followed its author, but is not developed anymore

(​https://github.com/mokelly/pytesser).

There are more recent Python wrapper of the tesseract-ocr API present on
PyPI that are still being developed. Examples are pytesseract,
tesserocr, and pyocr to name a few.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to yan12125:

py-clnum	ryandesign,open
py-rpncalc	ryandesign,open

These two ports, which are part of the ​same package, do not support python 2.7 or later. I have contacted the author, who said he is not developing this software any longer. I don't know whether it could be fixed to work on newer versions of python. I don't know if newer alternatives to this software exist.

[yan12125 (Chih-Hsuan Yen)]

ryandesign: I just tried clnum. Looks like it requires non-trivial patches to build on 64-bit systems.
