The required versions of those dependencies don't support python 3.7.

% port info --name --version py37-hatch-vcs py37-hatchling

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

it seems to me that the py37-filelock subport has no dependents in MacPorts and thus should just be removed as it is an EOL Python version.

Replying to reneeotten:

it seems to me that the py37-filelock subport has no dependents in MacPorts and thus should just be removed as it is an EOL Python version.

I would be okay with this; I have the following versions of it installed:

$ port installed "py*filelock"
The following ports are currently installed:
  py27-filelock @3.2.1_0 (active)
  py37-filelock @3.12.2_0 (active)
  py38-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
  py39-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
  py310-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
  py311-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
  py312-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
  py313-filelock @3.16.1_0 (active)
