Ticket #59839, comment 1
initial v1 1 Suppo rtthe "default python version" is 3.7, and that a hypothetical port declares dependencies based on that, and 3.7-specific paths get baked into the files the port installs. Let us suppose a user has installed this port.1 Suppose the "default python version" is 3.7, and that a hypothetical port declares dependencies based on that, and 3.7-specific paths get baked into the files the port installs. Let us suppose a user has installed this port. 2 2 3 3 Then suppose the "default python version" is changed to 3.8. This would change the dependencies and files installed by this hypothetical port. Logically, we would want the port to be rebuilt, but we don't have a mechanism for that to occur. The only mechanisms by which a port would be rebuilt are if the version/revision/epoch changes, the OS major version changes, or the default c++ standard library changes. We can't really implement your suggestion without this.
