How to wean myself away from Python 3.9? and then Python3.10?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

How to wean myself away from Python 3.9? and then Python3.10?

There's so much that I don't understand about MacPorts.

Should I uninstall everything that depends on Python 3.9 and then
Python 3.9 and then re-install those apps that I uninstalled from the
first sequence?  How will that not put me back to where O started?

The same question applies to Perl.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
