Trying to rev-upgrade after the latest tiff update:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
  File "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_iulib/iulib/work/tmbdev-iulib-b2b66db/SConstruct", line 63

    print "WARNING: compile with -DUNSAFE or high optimization only for production use"

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_iulib/iulib/work/iulib-b2b66dbcbbbfcb4aac0784ea9f07db998077dbc1" && /opt/local/bin/scons -j16 
Exit code: 2
Error: Failed to build iulib: command execution failed

I'm on Big Sur with Xcode 13.

Apparently, there haven't been any updates since 2014. There were PRs in 2017, but they haven't been merged.

Also, see #42353

In other words, it needs to be fixed by patching in MacPorts.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

It was written for Python 2.7, but we're now using Python 3.x.

Replying to Schamschula:

It

—the SConstruct file—

was written for Python 2.7, but we're now using Python 3.x.

—for scons. This is an example of the fallout I anticipated in #59303.

Adding the parentheses to the print call is easy. Haven't checked yet if that's the only problem.
