I know that.
I'm limiting myself to only bothering with python27 & python37

I could possibly without any problems just plug the rest in with a good
chance of success; but one of the python program I've made as Portfile
for says : 3.3 and above

I've had a bit of discussion about supporting python27 in
    https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5256
and took at look at the python-1.0.tcl file

Now, python-1.0.tcl
    - sets python27 as the default
      with IMHO is a bad idea as it's been on the death-bed for several
      years now; and is being EOLed in 2020
    - there's still a lot of py24 & py25 cruft in there
so I was thinking about
    1 setting python37 as the default
    2 removing all the py24 & py25 stuff

Possibly, also EOL / obsolete python3[2-5] & python26
