python38 @3.8.1_0: IDLE.app And Python Launcher.app Installed In "/opt/local/Applications/Python 3.8" Instead Of "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 3.8"

[Quibi (Quibizo)]

The application bundles IDLE.app and Python Launcher.app for Python 3.8 are installed in "/opt/local/Applications/Python 3.8" not in "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 3.8". as bundles for other Python versions (for instance, such as, "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 3.7").

After installing Python 3.8, I have noticed that IDLE and Python Launcher for this version are not in macOS Application folder but in a sub-folder in /opt/local. I have manually moved them to the Application folder.

I checked my macports configuration file macports.conf but found that applications_dir is properly set:

applications_dir /Applications/MacPorts

I am not sure if I should check other configurations or settings that can cause this defect.

I am running macOs Mojave 10.14.6

Thank you.

You are exactly correct. Something is messed up:

Joshua, do you want to maintain python38 as well, since you already maintain the other python3* ports?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

However, I see what the problem is here and should be able to fix it shortly.
