lang/python controls what the /usr/local/bin/python symlink points to. 
It might still be pointing to Python 2.7 when it should be pointing to 
Python 3.7.

You have two options:

1. Recreate and reinstall lang/python.
2. Change the /usr/local/bin/python symlink yourself.

The same advice applies to lang/python2 and lang/python3, if any of 
these are installed.

Just a friendly piece of advice:

Explore the possible use of ports-mgmt/poudriere and ports-mgmt/synth.
Even an old fart like myself have realised their potential and 
practical value.

They both build each package in full isolation from the running system 
and from each other. They can also build packages in parallel.

synth is more straight forward of the two but requires an Ada 
compiler. Its /usr/local/etc/synth/synth.ini has self-explanatory 
parameters for each profile you create.

poudriere requires you to set ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes and PARALLEL_JOBS=6 
in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf, and MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=4 in 
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf, in order to achieve reasonable 
parallelism.

6 and 4 are the values chosen by synth when auto-configured on an 
8-core system, yielding a 300 % load on the CPUs in the worst case. 
Adjust these values to suit your system and/or taste.
