      #49845: youtube-dl fails to build in trace mode because python is only a runtime,
not a build-time dependency
--------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  cal@…   |      Owner:  ryandesign@…
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.3.99
 Keywords:          |       Port:  youtube-dl
--------------------+--------------------------
 youtube-dl uses Python during its build, but only declares a build-time
 dependency. This makes the build fail in trace mode, because runtime
 dependencies are not expected to be used during the build and thus hidden.
 The error is:

 {{{
 :info:build make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build
 /_opt_dports_net_youtube-dl/youtube-dl/work/youtube-dl'
 :info:build zip -q youtube-dl youtube_dl/*.py youtube_dl/*/*.py

 :info:build make: *** [CONTRIBUTING.md] Error 1

 }}}

 and later on:

 {{{
 :warn:build The following existing file was hidden from the build system
 by trace mode:
 :msg:build   /opt/local/bin/python2.7
 }}}

 Here's a patch:
