New description:

 After installing it successfully, attempting to run it gives:

 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/colout: line 11: python3: command not found
 }}}

 Examination of /opt/local/bin/colout shows that it is a shell script whose
 only job is to invoke python3.

 (Expected behaviour would be for the package manager to tell me that this
 script depends upon python3, and install them both at my option.)

Comment:

 To my knowledge, there is no MacPorts port that provides "python3". We
 have various versions of python 3.x, and colout should select one of them
 and use it, or provide variants to let the user choose. Currently the
 colout port declares a dependency on python27; perhaps that's incorrect.
