 Replying to [comment:12 jmr@…]:
 > The variable and proc with the same name is just like all the regular
 portfile 'keywords'. They're there so that the port can specify a
 different set of supported python versions, and a different default
 version.
 So it's like portmain.tcl's {{{options ...}}} only more directly then?

 I can definitely understand the occasional need to change which python
 versions are supported by a module, but I would think the default version
 should be coming from elsewhere and not settable by a port?
