Description (last modified by lukaso (Lukas Oberhuber))

My install file is installing python38 even though I don't want it.

However, when I call: 

$ port dependents python38
python38 has no dependents.

$ port rdependents python38
python38 has no dependents.

There is no indication of why this port has been installed.

port dependents considers only the (runtime) dependency information recorded in the registry. If it shows nothing for python38, it's safe to uninstall it. If something you have installed depended on python38 at build time, port installed depends:python38 or port installed variant:python38 | grep python38 may help to find it.
