The self-tests run. But Python 2.7 is past EoL and, while we aren't ready to remove everything that uses it yet, there's little point to keep development tools for it in the ports tree. Additionally most major Python modules are now py3-only so a current OS and ports tree is not a good development system for py2 software. (virtualenv supports py2+py3 environments, and pip is still available for py2, so you can still do things, but not really in the context of the ports tree). I would think an isolated VM running an old OS release would probably be easier to work with.
