I ''am'' a software engineer but not a full-time Python programmer, and I
still feel your pain. I would recommend you to follow this guide:
https://www.bitecode.dev/p/relieving-your-python-packaging-pain
In short, don't try to use a package manager's python. That only gives you
''more'' chances for pain. Use the official installers, and keep your
stuff totally separate from MacPorts'.
Note that this also applies to other package managers like homebrew. Their
python is rather meant for their own packages, not really for you as a
python user; and you should be using virtual environments anyway.
Everything is explained in that guide, both at the basic survival level
and at the deep reasoned level.
