See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/; python 2.x is now really dead, and has been since 2020-01-01. But it is unfortunately terribly confusing for end-users that they're apparently still planning on shipping another "really final final" 2.7.18 version. A petition against this bad idea is here: = https://discuss.python.org/t/petition-abandon-plans-to-ship-a-2-7-18-in-ap= ril/2946 But basically, expect all python 2.x using ports to go away, unless they get fixed to use python 3.x, or no python at all. -Dimitry --Apple-Mail=_A96E17EE-C9A5-410D-AE38-31574535D403 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCXpozBQAKCRCwXqMKLiCW o1EjAJ0VfRJ2r9SbiKF5Unm6OgfeJeTAQwCcCsgY89j8bbDmvmkPwZSFUVz3rDE= =3AJS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_A96E17EE-C9A5-410D-AE38-31574535D403--
