There seems to be no reason to restrict py-asv to an old version of python. This patch removes the version restriction, and bumps the portrevision. This is the last port remaining (except Zope, which truly needs python2.1) that specifies python2.1. All others have been PR'd and are either committed or pending. After this, PRs on pythonNN will be issued removing the bin/{pydoc,python} files from those ports. After that, all versions of python will be able to co-exist without stomping on one another! Yay! Fix: ==8<====8<====8<====8<====8<====8<====8<====8<====8<====8<==

The FreeBSD "port" of ASV stipulates Python2.1.

Not that I'm aware of. I haven't actually tried it, mind you, but although ASV makes use of post-1.5.2 features, it's not really the sort of program that uses lots of prone-to-change features, so you should be OK.
