--- Comment #10 from gronke <stefan at gronke.net> ---
> Said another way, when a python package supports multiple python versions (almost all of them), then concurrently installable versions should not conflict with each other.

There is no need to install multiple versions on the same host. The build
target is always the distributions default Python 3 version.

> There are plenty of python packages that only provide console_scripts/scripts, not providing importable libraries, that use all of the standard distribution/installation mechanics that the python ecosystem offers and recommends. These all end up living in the version specific python environment even if the only normal way of accessing functionality is via LOCALBASE/bin scripts.

Users of the ioc CLI tool do not care what language it is written in - they
want to install it and use it to manage their jails. I don't find it necessary
to require users knowing their target Python version, if we could instead
depend on the same environment that we cover with our automated tests.

> If you don't want to prefix the 'portname' (and its svn dir) to be prefixed, that's fine, but I still would.

The language this is written in does not have an effect on the use of this CLI
tool. If a tool written in RUST imports libioc and provides the same
interfaces, there would be no noticeable difference for the user. Therefore I
prefer to call it just ioc.

> On the dependency front, one should depend on the respective python ports rather than install them via pip (or any other alternate mechanism)
