This is what I was suspecting, but is it really necessary to have two
versions of python installed? I mean, are they backwards compatible, and
if yes, if some package cannot work with 2.7 then would setting default
python version in mk.conf to 3.7 resolve the issue?

I'm going to try this out, but will take a while for everything to
build from scratch again.
