Why does installing python > py36 result in bringing in so many
dependencies like libXdmcp etc, when the intent is to just run python

build python all the time in NetBSD using pkgsrc and in FreeBSD ports,
without needing all of those deps. I don't know much about how cygport
works, is there a repo of cygport files I can look at?
The load at https://cygwin.com/git/ is too high at the moment
and I get "503 - The load average on the server is too high"
https://cygwin.com/cgit/ may behave better.
Take a look at some mirrors.
For cygport code:
https://github.com/cygwin/cygport
This is just a mirror of https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-apps/cygport/
You should probably take a look at the cygport manual () before reading
the source code.
Lots of individual repositories under here with cygport projects
https://github.com/cygwinports/
No, don't look there!
Those repositories haven't been updated for some time, and really should
really be archived, but the owner is too busy.
e.g.
https://github.com/cygwinports/python36
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/python36/
