Thanks. This is probably due to scons switching from python 2 to 3 recently. I mentioned the possibility of such breakage in comment:ticket:59303:1.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The developers of serf ​fixed this problem in 2017 but have not released a new version of serf since 2016. We will have to add a patch to the Portfile.

[lyskov (Sergey Lyskov)]

Thank you for looking this up Ryan! Please let me know if there is anything i can do to help.
