We often have this problem that we forget to specify dependencies in a python

of the dependency to use, so we may not notice this until committing the port,
at which point if we're looking at the buildbot logs we might notice that it
fails to build on older OS versions because of SSL problems.
Here's an example:
https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.7_x86_64_legacy-builder/builds/37372
Is there a way we can tell python in the python portgroup that it should not
attempt to automatically download dependencies, so that we would discover these
problems earlier?
According to the setuptools docs, easy_install at least has a --no-deps
flag, and if that doesn't work, there's a --allow-hosts flag to which
you can pass None to prevent all downloading. Someone would have to test
whether these work when passed to setup.py as well.
