 Hello,

 BUilding the py36-h5py port with the openmpi variant actually works, but
 does not performs the checks for variants correctly.
 I do not understand the port syntax, but macport returns a warning/error
 reading this (line 62 of the portfile):

 {{{
         mpi.enforce_variant     hdf5 \
                                              py${python.version}-mpi4py
 }}}

 As a consequence, py36-h5py does not force to build hdf5 and mpi4py with
 the openmpi variants, and it fails at runtime.
 When forcing hdf5 and mpi4py to be built with the right variants before,
 everything works fine, so it just a portfile dependents issue.
 We should edit the port so that hdf5 and mpi4py are forced to be
 compatible (and I don't know how to do that).

 Cheers,
 Romain

 > macport returns a warning/error reading this

 What warning/error does it return?
