??? This on bmy 12.3 xfce work station

artemis:~> pkg info -x ^python
python37-3.7.14
python38-3.8.14
python39-3.9.14

All the different versions come from various libraries/applications having 
different requirements. All happily live together.

I would think if you are developing for a standalone application having 
your development system use python directly would be better than running in 
an environment. I'm not exactly a python newbie but I have never been able 
to get environments to work without issues. FreeBSD at any rate does not 
care how many versions you have, just invoke the one you want to use 
directly.
