Comment (by ryandesign):

 See #62499 and #62398 for why it is not easy to bring py27-h5py back.

 caffe only uses py27-h5py in its python27 variant, which is on by default.
 If you don't need caffe's python functionality you could install caffe
 without the python27 variant:
 {{{
 sudo port clean caffe
 sudo port install caffe -python27
 }}}

 Someone should improve the caffe port to use a newer version of python 3,
 if that's possible.
