+|The port needs Python. The minimal required version can be specified with values such as `3.10+`. Version ranges can also be specified by separating two version numbers with a dash: `USES=python:3.8-3.9`. Note that `USES=python` does _not_ cover Python 2.7, it needs to be requested explicitly with `USES=python:2.7+`.
|`USE_PYTHON=distutils`
|Use Python distutils for configuring, compiling, and installing. This is required when the port comes with [.filename]#setup.py#. This overrides the `do-build` and `do-install` targets and may also override `do-configure` if `GNU_CONFIGURE` is not defined. Additionally, it implies `USE_PYTHON=flavors`.
