Comment(by gale@…):

 Unfortunately, with this change the script will now work
 *only* for python versions >= 3.0. We could expand
 that to >= 2.6 by adding "from __future__ import print_function"
 at the top. But it would still fail for < 2.6 which is still
 quite widespread.

 I'm afraid that the only practical solution may be to choose
 a specific major python version, runtime-depend on it,
 and hard-wire it into the shell-bang.

 Note that the crash of this script causes the gnome-keyring
 port to fail to build.

 You're right that this really needs to be fixed upstream.
 And I reported it there as you requested (added to related
 issue http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559947 ).
 But they may be very slow to fix it. On many platforms,
 there is a standard default python version, chosen
 conservatively. So it will be a long time before this bug
 begins showing up very often outside of MacPorts.
