 Model: MacBook macOS Catalina 10.15.6

 {{{
 vim --version | grep python
 }}}
 It said "-python" and "-python3"

 Hence installed Xcode and Macports. \\
 Gave the Command `sudo port install vim +python38`\\
 Getting Error:
 {{{
 Failed to destroot vim: command execution failed
 }}}

 Seen inside the Log File
 "/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_editors_vim/vim/main.log"

 Went to the 3 Sites, there is no Package
 vim-8.2.1719_0+huge+python38.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2.

 Could see Files for only vim-8.1.1368_0+huge.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2

 Please give a Solution to install vim with python38 Support

Comment:

 > there is no Package vim-8.2.1719_0+huge+python38.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2

 That's correct. Packages are not necessarily always available, and that
 should never be a problem. In this case, it's because +python38 is not one
 of the default variants, and we only produce packages for default
 variants.

 You should still be able to build the port from source. Presumably that is
 failing for you. Please attach the main.log file so that we can see why
 that happened.
