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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
