 I don't know why the error message (which comes from py27-cffi) mentions
 "Python >= 3.12"; this is Python 2.7. The file the error message is in is
 new in py27-cffi @1.16.0. Installing py27-cffi @1.15.1 works around the
 problem.

 This issue came up for me today when trying to set up a macOS Sonoma
 buildbot worker since these ports are in the dependency chain for
 buildbot-slave-0.8. For now I will copy the old py-cffi @1.15.1 Portfile
 and files directory into the private ports collection that I use for the
 buildbot machines.
