Comment (by ballapete):

 `Python 2.7` came in because I had `dblatex` installed using an
 experimental version 0.3.12pre1 that works with `Python 3`(#61530). A
 `port selfupdate` brought back the original `Portfile` with a dependency
 to `Python 2.7,` so it was tried to install it. Sorry that I did not
 understand it at once – I mean dblatex was installed, so it must have
 fulfilled all dependencies. Why care for something that has finished? OK,
 it's a run time dependency because otherwise the dblatex script can't
 execute… Isn't this dependency fulfilled by delegating it to macOS'
 version of `Python 2.7` via the `port select` mechanism?

 `Python 2.7` is since quite one year dead. There shouldn't be a need for
 it. If one does exist then Apple's version should suffice – it's stable
 and it will only change when it will disappear from macOS in some years.
 (Likely.)

 This ticket is my fault and can be closed as being inappropriate.
