 [Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7]I seem to recollect python27 and python3x
 installing without the need to compile but I may be wroing. Regardless,
 any minor version bumps now require yet lengthy compilation. Furthermore
 +lto and +optimizations are enabled by default. Since MacPorts Pythons are
 only installed on my system as deps how can I remove these variant flags?

Comment (by ryandesign):

 Yes, these variants are now enabled by default in the python ports.

 That does not mean you need to compile them from source. You will receive
 binaries if they are available.

 Due to the mass switch to openssl 3 on Sunday, our build machines have an
 extreme backlog and may not yet have gotten around to building the python
 packages with these new variants. That will resolve itself within a few
 days.

 If you wish to install the ports without these variants, you can:

 {{{
 sudo port install python27 -lto -optimizations
 }}}

 If you do this, you ''will'' have to compile from source because our build
 machines only build ports with their default set of variants.
