Well, I'm running under "sudo bash" under my admin account to avoid
having to prefix every admin task w/ "sudo"

If "port select python" currently allows versions of python 3.x to be selected, we may want to change that. 

We did do a concerted effort in getting rid of python27 in macports some
time back. If I remember correctly, I had a major part in updating a lot
of stuff to at least python35 at that time.

Python27 is offically dead. It was only being kept around in a comatose
state because of a lot of stuff not having been upgraded to python3.x
