Suffice it to say: 1) devel/talloc uses :2.7 because the bundled waf bundled is (very) old, pre-Python 3 support, and only supports 2.x. The options from here are, in no specific order: a) Port/fix the bundled waf script to work with python 3.x b) Ask/get talloc upstream to upgrade their bundled waf version This may already be occurring:=20 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D13504 c) In the meantime, get devel/talloc port to expose a PYTHON option that is disabled by default (might impact other samba ports?). This may be an incomplete solution, and still has a *build* dependency on Python 2.7, but removes the *runtime* requirement for it. d) Investigate/Get notmuch to not use talloc. I don't know if its compulsor= y, or an optional/swappable backend IMO,=20 (a) is too much (and duplicate) work, and has a high QA and maintenance overhead. (b) is worth adding your support to. (c) is worth exploring with samba port maintainer (not as a bug), as a back= up for, and in the meantime to (b) (d) is worth investigating Once we have the answers to (c) and (d), we can consider resolution for this issue. If they bear no fruit, this will likely need to be closed "Not A Bug= ", "Works As Intended" or "Not Accepted" as necessary Either way I'm happy to be the coordindator on resolution for this --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
