Isn't 2.7 ancient? I have the following installed: root@hp:/usr/ports/lang/python3 # python --version Python 2.7.13 root@hp:/usr/ports/lang/python3 # python3 --version Python 3.5.3 In /etc/make.conf, I have: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=libressl =python=python3 *I don't know if this is correct ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^* I've googled but a lot of what's there seems outdated/contradictory thanks, -- J.
