 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign]:

 > I will want to contact the developers to report that the configure
 script should not allow a wrong python value, if I can determine how to do
 so.

 Thank you for the insight and I appreciate your concern.

 Just as an idea and I tested this.  Maybe an intermediate fix in the
 Portfile could be:

 {{{
 set python_branch   3.11
 set python_version  [strsed ${python_branch} {s|\.||}]

 . . .

 depends_build       port:python${python_version}

 configure.python    ${prefix}/bin/python${python_branch}
 }}}

 I derived this from the MacPorts Guide ref
 https://guide.macports.org/index.html#reference.portgroup.python.variables

 However, a "PortGroup Python" would be an overkill or not helpful at all,
 I guess.  That is why I introduced the a.m. local variables and schematic.

 Hope this helps.
