A error occurs when setup.py attempts to determine the SDK level. See below.

I forgot to mention that the port does build successfully for python37, python38, and python39:

cavandish:~ jsacco$ port installed | grep pyobjc
  py27-pyobjc @5.3_4 (active)
  py27-pyobjc-cocoa @5.3_1 (active)
  py37-pyobjc @7.3_2 (active)
  py38-pyobjc @7.3_2 (active)
  py39-pyobjc @7.3_2 (active)

I'm running into this with py35-pyobjc, too, besides just py27-pyobjc

(edit: this blocks the upgrading of py27-applaunchservices and py35-applaunchservices, btw)

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Could someone cc the maintainer (danchr) please?

py{27,35}-pyobjc: fold into one port, fix build on Big Sur

Upstream dropped support for these versions of Python some time ago,
and hence doesn't do anything to keep them building on later systems.

Fixes: #63436

Thank you! Builds successfully here now.
