I just ran into the very same issue as described here

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/57094/

The thing is that `certbot` itself requires parsedatetime<2.0 while there is
v2.1 in the ports tree.
Thus, it gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/letsencrypt", line 5, in <module>

$ pkg info | grep parsedatetime
py27-parsedatetime-2.1         Python module for parsing 'human readable'
date/time expressions

Although the thread mentioned above is marked as solved, the workaround
provided (to modify devel/py-parsedatetime's Makefile to v1.4 manually) is not
a real solution, I guess. If the dependency in the Makefile was false, I would
have provided a patch but this looks like some change of the actual python code
is needed, which I think I can't cope with. :-) I had a quick look on whether
there is a bug report about this upstream, but as far as I can judge there is
none.
