 Replying to [comment:11 blb@…]:
 > What's the purpose of {{{proc python.versions}}} and {{{proc
 python.default_version}}}?  Since there are globals with the same name,
 which are initialized, and all use of these names is by the variable,
 aren't they unnecessary?

 The variable and proc with the same name is just like all the regular
 portfile 'keywords'. They're there so that the port can specify a
 different set of supported python versions, and a different default
 version.
