--- Comment #6 from David Naylor <dbn@FreeBSD.org> ---
Oops, apologies.  The correct approach to what you want to achieve is:

# Variables, which can be set by a user:
#
# PYTHON_VERSION        - The chosen Python interpreter including the versi=
on,
#                         e.g. python2.7, python3.3, etc. This allows the u=
ser
#                         to override the currently chosen default version =
and
#                         to install the port for a specific Python version.
#                         It must not be set by a port.

For example:
# cd /usr/ports/textproc/py-pygments
# make -V PYTHON_VER
2.7
# make -V PYTHON_VER PYTHON_VERSION=3Dpython3.5
3.5

i.e. if you want to install ports for python versions other than the default
(as already set in your system, per PEP 394) then use PYTHON_VERSION, this =
can
be set in /etc/make.conf to effectively change the default.
