sysutils/py-salt broken

hello,
it looks like after a recent update of saltstack to version 3007 it 
stopped working on freebsd.  there is a bug here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278149

i've verified the attached patch works as well.  i was hoping we could 
some more eyes on this as the published packages for py-salt are 
non-functional.

this is pretty disruptive to folks who have any sort of systems 
automations in place, so i'm sure you'll find no lack of people (myself 
included) who can help with testing verification.

thanks!
-pete
