I have submitted a bug, bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245799
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245799>, to update
math/gnumeric to run with python3. It's a bit odd because the current
version in ports builds and runs with either python 2 or 3 by default, but
the FreeBSD port does not because it attempts to compile all the python
modules which are only available when the port is built with python2.
Simply eliminating the post-install compileall.py call allows it to build
and run. Making that dependent on PYTHON_DEFAULT =2.7 would be the right
thing to do and is easy, but I'm unsure how to make the packing list DTRT.

Other than that, gnumric just works with any supported version of python.
