>Description:

If you install the threaded version of python, none of the packages
that depend on python recognize it as an acceptable version of python.
If you don't have another version of python installed, then attempting
to install a package that depends on python will cause the pkg tools
to install the default version of python.

>How-To-Repeat:

1. pkg_delete all packages that require python.
2. pkg_delete all versions of python.
3. install python22-pth
4. install a package that depends on python.  e.g. py-readline

You'll see the pkg tools insist on installing the default version of
python, python22.

>Fix:
Make this change to /usr/pkgsrc/lang/python/pyversion.mk:

PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED?=      22pth 22 21pth 21 20
