Comment:

 It did use `/usr/bin/env python` but this failed when that was an
 incompatible version of python. glib2 requires python 2.5 through 2.7
 inclusive. Neither earlier nor later versions work. So users on Tiger who
 had not installed and selected MacPorts python were getting the system's
 python 2.4, which failed. Users who installed and selected a MacPorts
 python3x port were getting that, which failed. See #32306. I fixed it in
 r87671 by using a specific known-good version of python: On Tiger:
 MacPorts python27; on later OS X versions: the system's python. There was
 no need to add a dependency on a MacPorts python on Leopard or later
 because on those OS X versions /usr/bin/python is 2.5 through 2.7. Of
 course if you change /usr/bin/python or other Apple-supplied software,
 then you should expect things to break.
