py27-pyobjc fails to build on Apple Silicon on Big Sur and Monterey:

Maybe these changes are relevant and could be backported:

I don’t have an ARM box myself, so I can only fix it by marking it as broken. Please note that the architecture of PyObjC is quite complex, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a simple back port didn’t reveal other issues, but feel free to give it a go 🙂

I don't think I'll be attempting it myself since I know very little about python and pyobjc. I had merely hoped to be able to use MacPorts python27 and py27-pyobjc to continue to run a little script I wrote which worked fine with /usr/bin/python but stopped working when Apple removed /usr/bin/python in macOS 12.3. But instead I will probably rewrite the script in a language with which I'm more familiar.
