Right now this can only be arranged with a hack in Mk/bsd.python.mk, line 581 and following. Those pull in lang/python, since many ports depend on bin/python, although they are only compatible with a specific python version. Solving this issue and making ports depend on lang/python2 OR lang/python3 OR a specific python version is on the agenda, but will take some time, since many ports, that python scripts, have to be checked. We happily invite everyone to check ports for those issues, report back to us or provide fixes to solve this faster ;-). Cheers Marcus
