Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:1 reneeotten]:
 > We should really try to purge all these {{{py27}}} subports to avoid all
 these additional code to keep a pre-historic Python version running. I'd
 be in favor of just setting a deadline for ending Python 2.7 support and
 if ports cannot be transitioned to a recent Python3 port they'll be
 removed at that point...

 Don't forget, however, that the MacPorts Buildbot setup, which is
 installed using MacPorts ports, uses Python 2.7. This Python 2.7 module is
 not involved in that but others are and so those should not be removed.
 Upstream support for Python 2.7 only ended three years ago; it's hardly
 "pre-historic". Updating to use Python 3 is not always trivial. For
 example, we use Buildbot 0.8, which is not compatible with Python 3.
 Buildbot 0.9 and later are, in my view, a different and inferior piece of
 software, at least as far as the web interface is concerned.
