USE_PYTHON=yes asks for any python port, no matter which. lang/python is a consumer port that usually is not picked by ports within the ports infrastructure and you should avoid using 'python-config', 'python' and similar generic commands for building and installing ports, since a user can change the default version at any time. Having said this, pulling in 'only' python2 (lang/python2) is correct. The port, that breaks for you, needs to be fixed. Cheers Marcus
