See ticket:52640#comment:1. We are removing support for older versions of python that are no longer supported upstream.

I wouldn’t be opposed to making an exception for setuptools and virtualenv, so that users could still have a reasonable method for using the deprecated Pythons outside of MacPorts.

It looks like "additional python versions" refers to Python 3.1 and 3.2, based on a reading of the portfile diff.

Setuptools no longer works with those Python versions.
