Seems like a gratuitous requirement. If I can edit the port's Makefile and change -USES=3Dpython +USES=3Dpython:3 to build the package prefixed with p35- instead of p27-, I should be able to have the same effect by simply setting my preference with DEFAULT_VERSIONS. (In reply to Iblis Lin from comment #4) > the python interpreter pointed by `/usr/local/bin/python` > will be chosen. It overrides the config of `DEFAULT_VERSIONS`. Thanks, Iblis. Should not be hard to fix, Python-folks? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
