I was thinking about how to patch python when I have all these ports installed which depend on it:

brethen-mbp:ports marbre$ port dependents python27
boost depends on python27
dbus-python27 depends on python27
gnome-doc-utils depends on python27
gobject-introspection depends on python27
gpsd depends on python27
gtk-doc depends on python27
libproxy depends on python27
librsvg depends on python27
py27-altgraph depends on python27
py27-astroid depends on python27
py27-backports depends on python27
py27-backports-ssl_match_hostname depends on python27
py27-cairo depends on python27
py27-cython depends on python27
py27-dateutil depends on python27
py27-gobject depends on python27
py27-h5py depends on python27
py27-ipython depends on python27
py27-libxml2 depends on python27
py27-logilab-common depends on python27
py27-markupsafe depends on python27
py27-matplotlib depends on python27
py27-numpy depends on python27
py27-parsing depends on python27
py27-pep8 depends on python27
py27-pyflakes depends on python27
py27-pygtk depends on python27
py27-pylint depends on python27
py27-pyqt4 depends on python27
py27-pyside depends on python27
py27-readline depends on python27
py27-roman depends on python27
py27-rope depends on python27
py27-scipy depends on python27
py27-setuptools depends on python27
py27-shiboken depends on python27
py27-sip depends on python27
py27-six depends on python27
py27-spyder depends on python27
py27-sympy depends on python27
py27-tkinter depends on python27
py27-tornado depends on python27
py27-tz depends on python27
py27-zmq depends on python27
scons depends on python27
xorg-libxcb depends on python27
xorg-xcb-proto depends on python27

Do I deactivate them first? And what about ports that depend on these? I can envision a domino effect.
