Comment (by jfcaron@…):

 What actually makes the most sense to me is to have the default (non-
 variant) ROOT include PyROOT with the system python at /usr/bin/python.
 This is done in the ./configure step with --enable-python.  The python2*
 variants should be used to include PyROOT with a MacPorts-provided python,
 with the same port name as the variant name.

 If there is a compelling argument for a non-python* variant ROOT to NOT
 include PyROOT support, then I agree that one of the python2* variants
 should be enabled by default.  I've only been on Macs since 10.7, so it
 seems obvious to me that python27 should be the default variant.

 Yet another way: can the root6 port detect if there is already a python
 port installed (& selected with python_select)?  Then root6 could enable
 python support for whatever the user already had installed.  That would
 make the dependencies pretty strange.
