I now also tested on CentOS Linux (because couldn't find python3 
anywhere). (By the way, it would be really cool if pkgsrc could generate 
a rpm specification.)

Okay. I was doing that for testing.

So for now to use it, it means once individual packages are proven okay, 
then need to add "31" to them. Since I think most don't define 
PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED specificly, then it will need to add whole 
list.

I will add my python31 to pkgsrc and some python/*mk patches to pkgsrc 
soon this week.

Also I may make a meta package so I can test installing many py modules.
