??? This on bmy 12.3 xfce work station

artemis:~> pkg info -x ^python
python37-3.7.14
python38-3.8.14
python39-3.9.14

All the different versions come from various libraries/applications having 
different requirements. All happily live together.

I would think if you are developing for a standalone application having 
your development system use python directly would be better than running in 
an environment. I'm not exactly a python newbie but I have never been able 
to get environments to work. FreeBSD at any rate does not care how many 
versions you have, just invoke the one you want to use directly.
