TL;DR Why not drop www/py-djblets and www/reviewboard until these problems are
sorted out for higher impact python ports?


As the only package the depends on www/py-djblets is www/reviewboard, is
www/reviewboard of sufficient value as packaged for ports to justify its
existence vs a pointer to a playbook to deploy reviewboard in a virtualenv?

Granted, neither www/py-djblets nor www/reviewboard are packaged on pypi by the
upstream author such that 'pip install reviewboard==version' actually works.

Supporting python based web applications, I found there was more value in
allowing the developers control over the pure python modules used rather than
depending on native packages.

Having native packages for python modules was much more useful for hard to
build modules like PIL, long to build modules like scipy and numpy, and modules
with tight coupling to native libraries (ldap, databases, ssl), or used by low
level tools like ansible.

A quick conversation with the upstream developer for these packages to put the
source on pypi, and deprecating these ports on FreeBSD would be the least
effort to provide the most usability.  Revisit it when we have reasonable
mechanisms for providing a python package for multiple versions of python.
