astro/py-ephem: Update to 4.2.1 - First release that offers wheels for Python 3.14 - Star database now makes the star Albereo available under its more official spelling Albireo - Classes like Sun and Mercury are now defined using plain literal class statements, instead of being built dynamically in a for loop. This should make the classes visible to tools like editors, debuggers, and type checkers. Strip had to be changed from PYTHON_TAG to PYTHON_SUFFIX in order to also support threaded Python versions (3.13t).

python.mk: rename PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG, document, etc EXT_SUFFIX, according to PEP 3149, refers to the full tag and extension for compiled extension module objects, eg .cpython-311.so, .cpython-313t.so, etc. We do not use the correct semantic meaning, and this usage becomes ambiguous and confusing when tags do not match between bytecode and compiled extension module objects. Rename our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG to align with PEP 3147's specification of a magic tag, which consists of implementation name and shorthand version only. This is meant for bytecode and other files containing this tag in their filename that do not depend on a specific Python ABI for the same version. Chase all existing consumers. Introduce PYTHON_SOABI to align with PEP 3149's specification of a tag, which consists of implementation name, shorthand version and any ABI flags present (this and PYTHON_TAG are identical without ABI flags). This is meant for compiled extension module objects and other files that depend on a specific Python ABI for the same version. Add documentation for these variables that our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX never had. PR: 274671 Event: Kitchener-Waterloo Hackathon 2025064f0eba1efd
python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal Any missed ports, feel free to bump. Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.06a08e69f3

all: remove explicit versions in USES=python for "3.x+"
The logic in USES=python will automatically convert this to 3.8+ by
itself.
Adjust two ports that only had Python 3.7 mentioned but build fine
on Python 3.8 too.

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. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae
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. This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr files in order to preserve them. There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These ports will not be touched in this commit. The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as deprecated. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0

Relax hardcoded paths to fix build with Python 3.8.7 Since r558913 Python 3.8 incorporates BPO-42604 [1] which changed the shared libs naming scheme. This means "EXT_SUFFIX" is now derived from SOABI and yields with Python 3.8 to ".cpython-38.so" instead of ".so". The affected ports strip the libaries in the "post-install" target via hardcoded path(s) and the build fails at the end because the new extension is not expected at this place. Remedy the issue by adding wildcards to these paths. This should also prepare the ports for future Python releases, which will use the new shared libs naming scheme.

[NEW PORT] astro/py-ephem: Compute positions of the planets and stars PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C and are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application, whose author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their use in PyEphem. The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, or comet for a series of dates.
