Is there an ETA for updating the python27 port to 2.7.7?

I just made a patch for updating python27:

  https://people.freebsd.org/~lwhsu/patch/python-2.7.7.diff

lang/python27/files/patch-Lib__distutils__unixccompiler.py should be kept.
http://bugs.python.org/issue20767 has not been closed yet and the 2.7.7 source
code does not incorporate the change nor does the NEWS file indicate anything related
to the issue.

I'm also unsure about the fcntl.ioctl() patch change. The 2.7.6 patch used an
unsigned long on purpose, since we are not limited to 32 bit. The 2.7.7 patch however seems to revert this behaviour, limiting ioctl() to 32 bit, which will most likely have an impact on ports using ioctl(). I can't find a related python issue - did we
ever report our change upstream?

Cheers
Marcus
