--- Comment #3 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
Though I understand the motivation for this port proposal, we'd prefer not =
to
add py2/3 specific ports, because:

- Python ports should always allow *any* Python version to be used for the
build that the upstream supports. Any Python port unnecessarily restricting=
 the
declared version support is considered a bug.

- All else being equal, there ought to be no work required for 'specificall=
y'
or explicitly flavouring any Python port, and instead leverage the automatic
flavouring that is produced solely by declaring the versions that the softw=
are
*supports*. Perhaps scons is differerent, but in that case, we should
understand where and how, and seek to aim our effort toward addressing those
questions rather than creating a potentially very short lived port that has
limited utility, and comes with downsides.

- It breaks with the conventions/mechanism that we have developed to allow
arbitrary user-selection of their preferred Python version, while minimising
conflicts between packages.

We should resolve any barriers/issues with the main scons port not allowing=
, or
not being currently appropriate for building with Python 3.x.

Could you please add any relevant scons issue ID's to this bugs See Also fi=
