            Bug ID: 209204
           Summary: Changing default Python version unduly difficult
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org,
                    python@FreeBSD.org

Although I still have python-2.7 installed and used by some of the ports, I=
'd
like the newly-built ones to be based on python-3.5.

To this end I set the following flags:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS=3Druby=3D2.0 tcl=3D8.6 gcc=3D4.9 db=3D6.1 python=3D3.5 per=
l=3D5.22
ghostscript9:agpl
PYTHON3_DEFAULT=3D3.5
PYTHON_DEFAULT=3D3

(even though only the very first one should be needed, right?)

Despite all this, devel/py-sip, for example, still insists on using 2.7:
PKGNAME=3Dpy27-sip-4.17,1
PYTHON_VER=3D2.7

The only way to force it, apparently, is to edit each port's Makefile and
change USES=3Dpython to USES=3Dpython:3=20

This should not be necessary, should it?
