--- Comment #19 from Antoine Brodin <antoine at FreeBSD.org> ---
A note before posting the exp-run results:

Limiting the python version for instance with USES=python:-3.6 is (most of the
time) not a correct fix.

A correct fix is for instance:
- seeking if upstream released a new version including python 3.7 fixes
- patching python files or C files to make them compatible with python 3.7
- using a version of cython compatible with python 3.7 to regenerate C files
- marking the port BROKEN with py37 flavor, and deprecating it alongside all
the ports depending on it if upstream and maintainer don't care
