I am working on delivery Freeciv to macOS via the MacPorts distro.
This might not be an issue for you. We need python only when building from the git checkout. In the release tarballs the python generated files are already present (and up to date). Just be sure not to use ./autogen.sh (which you don't need as 'configure' and other files are already generated for you), but ./configure.
Obviously this is an issue for anybody wanting to do such development on macOS that would require recreating those python generated files.

Ticket details:
The comment in common/generate_packets.py claims it's compatible with every Python version since 1.5, and says to keep it that way; in particular, not to replace string.join calls. The update to make the script Python-3-compatible did just that.
Clearly, the script is not 1.5-compatible anymore (nor does it need to). Given the use of a python3 executable, our minimum supported version is in the Python 3 range – we should figure out / decide what specific version we want that to be, and update the comment accordingly.
