It's probably out of scope of FreeBSD Ports to supply patches to the Python
part of the libdee code that rewrites it to use Python 3.x instead of Python 2.7.

Looking at upstream[1][2], that code hasn't been updated since 2013.
The online documentation[3] is also missing.

Based on the bitrot, my guess is it has been superceded by something else?

Disclaimer: I don't use libdee.
