Rebuild all the ports that depend on python (and any python depends on).

You might also look at what you have that requires python. For example, I recently;y eliminated almost all the python packages by simply removing scons. It may come back if something needs scons to build in the future, but for now I have only three python 3.6 packages installed:

===>>> py36-ply-3.11
===>>> py36-setuptools-41.0.0
===>>> python36-3.6.8_2

These are required for bindutils, but I eliminated the one part of blind tools that needs put-on I wouldn’t have it at all.

Of course, your setup is different, but it is definitely worth looking at your depends.

pkg -rd python27
