how do I use python2.4 instead of 2.3? and other port questions

Hi, How do I get packages to use python 2.4? I installed it, but python stuff keeps going to /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages instead. I even put PYTHON_VER=2.4 in the Makefiles, which I thought would do it but no. What are the semantics of MODULE and BUILD_REQ? I don't really understand

modern libpcap port?

Hey, Is there some reason OpenBSD 3.8 is using libpcap 0.5 instead of something like libpcap 0.9.4? One can't make use of pcapy.py or scapy without installing this seperately. if there's no good reason other than "nobody has done it yet", should I commit a port to the ports tree, or should I be
