Description Antoine Brodin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-12-28 22:21:35 UTC 
In Mk/Uses/python.mk we have:

DEPENDS_ARGS+=          PYTHON_VERSION=${PYTHON_VERSION}
where PYTHON_VERSION is python2.7 or python3.x

But autoconf based ports use PYTHON_VERSION with a different meaning:

  [ax_prog_python_version=`${PYTHON} -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[[:3]])" 2>/dev/null`;
  AC_SUBST(
   [PYTHON_VERSION],
   [$ax_prog_python_version])

so there, PYTHON_VERSION is 2.7 or 3.x

This commit workarounded for devel/py*-gobject3 but other ports are likely affected:

antoine, 

Any considerations and/or suggestions for a renamed variable?
Is this a good time to also introduce a prefixed variable namespace?
