So I was able to move everything over to python 3.7 _except_ mailman which,
of course requires python 2.7.

However, I keep running into the old problem that the setuptools for each
of these versions conflict with each other because they install in the
same location (why?  everything else in multi-verion python lives under
its own directory tree.)

Until/unless I can figure out a reasonable way to work around this, everything
either has to live under 2.7 past EOL or I cannot run mailman2 (which is
not an option unless mailman3 gets ported).

Has anyone every managed to get py2 and py3 to coexist happily on FreeBSD including
their respective pips and setuptools?
