I think that this section https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/PortsPolicy#Prefixing_.28py-.2A.29 should be amended:

Examples of compelling cases:

* The port is a program, and not a library.

There is no need to have flavors for Python ports that build only programs and don't build libraries.

This distinction does not practically exist; any Python package, even if primarily a program, can be specified and imported as a library in another as a dependency. See meson, which had to grow flavours when meson-python came about.

...nope, still don't have an exit line.

Putting -pyN as ${PKGNAMESUFFIX} when not the default flavour for those cases can be considered however.
