I think your bmake doesn't like this: [from extension.mk]
PYTHON_VERSION_REQD?=3D ${PKGNAME_REQD:C/^\'?py([^-]*)-.*/\1/}

You could try changing the: \'? to \' since (AFAIK) all pkgnames are quoted =

now.

BTW, what version of bmake is it ?

Do you haven an up to date lang/python/extension.mk ? I fixed this in r.=20
1.6. (Or at least I think I did ;-))
