python inconsistency

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

when I run sudo port install xv I end up with the error message 

Error: Requested variants "+python311" do not match those the build was started with: "+python39".
Error: Please use the same variants again, or run 'port clean xorg-xcb-proto' first to remove the existing partially completed build.

My default python (the python on my PATH) was python3.11. I changed it to python3.9 but I still got the same error message. I don't really know my way around python so I'm likely doing something dumb, in which case I could use advice on how to fix it. Thank you.

The default python on your PATH is for your convenience outside of MacPorts. It's irrelevant to MacPorts.

Solve the problem by running sudo port clean xorg-xcb-proto.

Great! If you have other questions about how to use MacPorts, the ​macports-users mailing list is a good place to ask.
