I consider this from ports tree point of view. If any of the deps need 
python2.7, this breaks the python3 build. As bare minimum, I see two 
problems with dependencies:
- current devel/py-dateutils doesn't supports python3
- matplotlib depends on pygtk2 (read: python2 only) by default

So it should come up with python 2.7 install and that's all, but I still 
waiting for tinderbox build with python3 to make sure.
