I've been thinking whether I could abandon the assumption that there

of code.
FWIW, I agree with you that this is a fundamental assumption and that it
cannot be challenged without great peril. :)
As far as I am concerned the correct solution would be to create
py- slave ports for every major branch, i.e. py2-* and py3-* ports.
This way you could have one python version from every major branch,
which I'd expect to suffice for most use cases.
I agree with you that this is likely the best solution, and while I'm
not a python person I would use this approach if a similar situation
presented itself with my perl ports.
