pyenv @1.2.9: new port

[FranklinYu (Franklin Yu)]

Homepage: ​https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

Other distributions:

• ​Homebrew
• ​Arch Linux

Note that we should probably prompt users to set environment variable $PYENV_ROOT. I’m not sure what would happen otherwise; possibly new Python will be installed besides pyenv binary and requires root privilege (thus killing the point to use pyenv at all). Need experiments.

any update on this?

I do not have a copy of the specific requested version on this ticket handy (1.2.9) but I do have a fork of pyenv latest that I use that is available on my personal GitHub: if there's interest from other macports users I can try to get that properly packaged and integrated into the ports ecosystem, but supporting much older versions will be a bit tricky as things have marched on in the apple side and for homebrew/historic reasons pyenv needs to run only using old versions of bash, so some of the scripting might need review by someone who is a more full time bash user (I am mostly zsh/csh-alike/fish these days)

fork is available here, use at your own risk without warranty etc as I have not done any testing/verification on older versions of macOS using Apple Silicon which I would consider a prerequisite for proper releases: ​https://github.com/jculpon/pyenv-macports
