www/npm requires python27?

Dependencies from www/npm

Code:
gmake : devel/gmake
node>=0.8.0 : www/node
python3.7 : lang/python37

Yet:

# pkg install -nM npm

Code:
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
The following 2 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
	npm: 6.12.1
	python27: 2.7.18

How can I skip the Python 2.7 dependency?
 
www/node has a build dependency on Python 2.7
www/npm has a run dependency on the default Python (that's 3.7).

Looking at the dates of PR 245500 I suspect you're looking at the quarterly packages. Which probably doesn't have this change yet as it was committed after 2020Q2 was branched.
