I see both mate-menu and mate-applets require python27, but both build

and seem to be running well when built with py37. It is possible that one
or more applets that I don't use do require py27, but I see no reason for
that requirement on mate-menus. The menus seem to be fine.
Inkscape is another. It builds and runs on py37, but I have no
confidence
that it runs properly. I have not used inkscape in years and I don't
really
know how to test it. I am dubious.
math/gnumeric is one I use daily and it explicitly states in the build
that
2.x is required and it is not yet compatible with python3+. It appears
that
the default is to simply build gnumeric without Python bindings in which
case python2 is not required, but the port makes use of it, so it
probably
needs at least some massaging.
The big one is scons. It is required by virtualbox-ose, and that is
rather
important.
See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241463 for a attempt
to flavor scons for python 2 and python 3.
Otherwise I don't see how new ports (wanting python3 to buid) can use
scons while existing ports keep building using python 2 for the coming
months.
NB: mongodb36 and 40 want scons with python 2. Mongodb42 (not in ports
yet) wants scons for python 3.

Ronald.
