Why does it all that python code just to run waf

Doesn't the waf portgroup as included in the port do all that is needed?

Ideally the code in there would also handle the case where a requested
Python variant isn't known to it, instead of crapping out with an
undefined variable error in Tcl.

    Issues like this bug me too. I have filed a ticket [1] requesting a
    python35 variant be added.

    It seems to have been pretty generically coded, so it may well
    work if you add 35 to the list. waf says it only works with 3.4 at
    https://github.com/waf-project/waf but maybe that's out of date?

    I had decided that I want python3 variants as much as possible
    and set -python27 +python35 in my variants.conf instead of
    setting up each variant manually on the command line

    However I tried to install mpv (which does not have a direct
    python dependency just via youtube-dl) and I got

    Error: org.macports.patch for port mpv returned: can't read
    "python.version": no such variable

    Why is it looking for python?
