Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:6 kencu]:
 > the fix for python27 was trivially simple, and is quite different than
 the python3s.
 > your path forward, should you care to continue exploring, would be as I
 mentioned here [ticket:64449#comment:4]
 > essentially, the universal build of python3.x in macports is largely
 driven by the portfile, and a ppc64 pathway is so uncommon that the logic
 would appear to need to be tweaked to accomodate that.

 I did that in build files via patches. I used BBEdit multi-file search on
 source code, found all instances on this sort and added ppc64 in a way
 similar to how x86_64 is added there. In result python38–310 built for me
 as universal, but some modules failed to work. That is where I got stuck.

 I will post specific diff files once I am back to office (they are on Quad
 locally), if you could take a look.
