- The port devel/py-functional has been repo-copied to
devel/py-xoltar-toolkit, so: - Update devel/py-xoltar-toolkit to the latest version (2001.06.01) of the Xoltar Toolkit, which bundles an updated functional.py module with some supporting modules. - Remove all files from devel/py-functional - Update the category Makefile to reflect the change. Approved by: Jacques Vidrine <nectar@FreeBSD.org>, maintainer

-A Python module which provides support for a functional style of Python
-programming.
+The Xoltar Toolkit contains utility modules for Python, including functional
+programming support, lazy expressions and data structures, and thread pools.
It includes support for closures, curried functions, lazy expressions,
lazy tuples (functional programming languages call these lazy lists, but
-since lists are mutable in Python, tuples are closer in meaning), and
-lazy equivalents for map, filter, reduce, and zip. Also includes some
-higher-order functions for composing functions and such.
