Comment(by gale@…):

 Why? Various versions of Python 3 have been considered
 "stable production versions" of Python for a
 long time now. Anyone doing serious development in
 Python will consider doing this.

 When a package/port depends on a legacy version, the
 standard behavior for packaging systems is
 to provide that dependency to the specific package,
 not to downgrade the entire system. That's why upstream
 considers this a MacPorts bug.

 But if it's really true that MacPorts won't support
 setting Python 3 as the default, then doing that
 should be removed as an option. As long as MacPorts
 officially supports setting Python 3 as the default -
 which I maintain it should - then this is certainly a
 bug in my opinion.

 Fact - when I configure my MacPorts in a reasonable
 and supported way, this package fails to build.
 Please explain why that's not a bug.
