I'm trying to install py38-ansible, but the file is non-existent. It also hangs the install command indefinitely.

I'm looking into it right now (and updating the port from 2.9.5 to 2.9.7, while I'm at it).
It is true and unfortunate that the port patches thousands of files. That's because ansible is really designed for absolute pathnames on install. It's a relic of the prehistoric days in ansible's development, unfortunately.
I might take some time to replace the current Portfile logic and redo it with a find ... -print0 | xargs -0 ... shell command... that might be faster...
(Actually, belay that. I just rebuilt on my stock Late-2014 iMac, and it only took a couple of minutes. Way faster than I thought it would be... looks like the mega-patch happens a lot faster than I remembered!)

Replying to jhoyt4:
Which file is non-existent? If you mean that there is no precompiled binary, that is correct; we are not allowed to provide one due to licensing restrictions:
It installs fine for me on High Sierra with Xcode 9.4.1. What version of macOS and Xcode are you using?
How long did you wait? It looks like our build servers took up to 10 minutes to build this port. Try running
sudo port -d install py38-ansibleso that you can monitor the progress of what it's doing. If it does ever stop printing output, you can show us the last couple dozen lines before it stopped.It looks like the port spends a significant amount of time applying a patch to tens of thousands of files. Even on my Mac which has an SSD this takes five minutes. If your Mac has a hard disk, this step could take several times that long.
