regarding having more than one python version installed: What often happens is, that you have a port, that needs python, like eg this: #=> port info certbot certbot @4.1.1 (security) Variants: docs, python310, python311, python312, [+]python313, python39
As you can see, the default is currently python313, !but! if you installed certbot, when python312 was the default, it doesn't automagically get updated to python313 . Thus, when a new major version of python gets released, you'll have to manually check which ports are dependent on the old major version, and see, if they have been updated to the latest major version. In my case, I'm still having python311 around because #=> port dependents python311 | grep -v py311- docker-compose depends on python311 #=> port info docker-compose docker-compose @1.29.2_1 (python, devel) Build Dependencies: py311-build, py311-installer, py311-setuptools, py311-wheel Library Dependencies: py311-distro, py311-docker, py311-dockerpty, py311-docopt, py311-jsonschema, py311-python-dotenv, py311-requests, py311-six, py311-socks, py311-texttable, py311-websocket-client, py311-yaml, python311 When checking for dependency on a previous version of python, I do this: #=> port dependents python311 | grep -v py311 Then, I explicitly upgrade the python variant like this: port -cuN upgrade --enforce-variants certbot -python312 +python313 -- Bjarne D Mathiesen Slagelse ; Danmark ; Europa ----------------------------------------------------------------------- denne besked er skrevet i et totalt M$-frit miljø MacPro 2010 5.1 ; OpenCore + macOS 14.7.4 Sonoma 2 x 3,46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon ; 192 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC RDIMM ATI Radeon RX 590 8 GB
