Yes, if it doesn't install anything into 
/usr/lib/python3.NN/site-packages/ (like this) packages which contain a 
python script can (usually) be made python-version neutral.

(You could probably do this by dropping the inherit python3 and just 
configuring with PYTHON=python3)

You might want to double check the dependencies, to make sure that 
python3 and python3-requests are added, cygport might need some help 
with that.
