I use devel/py-sysctl in some scripts to get values, using a recent
12-current (r336728) I see at least two values that get a different
value type than on 11-stable. Same version of python and port.
I have 12-current running in a bhyve on an 11-stable host.
Is there a recent change to sysctl calls that would cause this?
or is this bhyve related?
On 11-stable I get long int values that I expect

On 12-current I get the same sysctls as a bytearray
