Why does make chromium browser pulls in python27

[Alain De Vos]

In make.conf I have:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.7
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python3=3.7

So I wonder why make chromium pulls in python27?

Because it's a build dependency and it's explicitly set to 2.7:

USES=           bison cpe desktop-file-utils dos2unix gl gnome jpeg localbase:ldflags \
                ninja perl5 pkgconfig python:2.7,build shebangfix tar:xz xorg

Note the python:2.7,build: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses-python.html

Several ports/packages still require py27 as build dependency.
