A pkg repository that builds for Python != 2.7 is whats needed. Longer
term provided by the project, but in the meantime something a
contributor could easily provide as a service to the community with
poudriere (and dogfood themselves)

If bandwidth might be a concern, come and talk to us on IRC. I have a
few ideas on how we might be able to help someone like that :)

Issues have revolved mostly around:

- Conflicting files in doc/share/etc (need to be prefixed) - mva@ (cc'd)
has had a patch in the works for this

- Depending (directly or indirectly) on a PythonXY version of a port
that doesnt support XY

There are likely some other related issues listed here on our FreeBSD
Python wiki page:

Any extra eyes & help would be appreciated, there's plenty of low effort
high value things people can do in team Python@ at the moment to make
the ecosystem better for everyone.
