Shouldn't /usr/bin/python exist on all versions of macOS? It still existed on macOS 12.0.1; I haven't checked newer versions.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I see that /usr/bin/python will be removed in macOS 12.3. Are you perhaps running a 12.3 beta?

This removal is going to affect a ton of ports. I'll write to the macports-dev mailing so everyone can start preparing.

This port uses macports python27 if OS is older than darwin 10, expanding this to all OS versions could fix this.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yup, I'm doing that. :)

Yes I am. Sorry for not mentioning that.
