--- Comment #4 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
>From the (8.6.10) README [1]:

  NOTE: The current version of AsciiDoc requires *Python 2.6 or 2.7*
  to run.  

There is an open issue for a Python 3 port:

python 3 port of asciidoc
https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc/issues/83

Currently the port exists as a 'fork' with its own site, not as a PR against
upstream asciidoc code. Efforts to have upstream code support Python 3 should
be directed upstream.

At present, asciidoc requiring 2.7 is a reflection of actual and current Python
support upstream, and is intended behaviour / not a bug
