Description
I am running MacPorts 2.6.2 I have python36 installed and selected.
I want to install youtube-dl. The install is asking me you install python27, python38 and various python37 modules. Here is a list: ffmpeg gdk-pixbuf2 gobject-introspection graphviz ld64 ld64-xcode libLASi librsvg nasm pango py37-beaker py37-mako py37-markdown py37-markupsafe py37-setuptools python27 python37 python38 vala I do not understand how the dependencies can be requiring versions of Python that, even if installed, would not be the active versions. Evidently the sub-Portfiles of youtube-dl, aren specifying dependencies on these python versions. But why? Should not that depency be merely on python and not a specific version of python?
It does no good for me to try and install using variants. EG port install youtube-dl -python38. There is no difference in the output. I do not wish to have me ports cluttered up with all manner of pythonx.x installs which I am not using.
