Johannes Jost Meixner <xmj at FreeBSD.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to gnome at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 219322: net/py-avahi: does not work with Python3
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219322



--- Description ---
net/py-avahi can't be installed, because it depends on devel/py-dbus which is
python2 only. Even after installing that one, the file avahi is looking for
can't be found.

Either mark the port python:2 only, or implement a mechanism to detect the
installed python default.

Also note that it would be a good idea to deprecate pkg-plist in favor of
autoplist, if Python3 support is what is aimed at.
