Current when someone installs python27 on an M1 Mac, the binary installed will be x86_64. I ask that an ARM64 version of Python 2.7 be made and available to ARM-based Macs.

If you're getting x86_64 builds on arm64 hardware, then either you have build_arch set to x86_64 in macports.conf, or you have a universal build of MacPorts base installed and are running it as x86_64 through Rosetta 2. In either case, setting build_arch to arm64 will get you native builds. See also: BigSurProblems#Rosetta2andbuild_arch
