It is looking for those in addition to pythonX.Y-config variants, as different
OS's package python in different ways.

The issue is that while ffr7 may well support 3.7 'in practice', their
configure.ac doesn't currently look for it to satisfy the dependency, which is
why it's failing.

The second contributing cause is you set 3.7 as your default versions, and the
third contributing cause is the port sets USES=python3.6+

The third, implies that your second, is OK, which is incorrect (configure says
otherwise).

The PR I referenced in comment 1 was an example showing 3.7 being added. The PR
is still open, but does not include updating python*-config elements of
configure.ac

Right now, the fix is to set the port to declare *correctly* what versions this
software supports, which is 2.7-3.6

The longer term goal (for you), is to get upstream to add support for Python
3.7, so that you don't need a different (and multiple) versions of Python
installed on your system.
