--- Comment #10 from gronke <stefan@gronke.net> ---
> Said another way, when a python package supports multiple python versions=
 (almost all of them), then concurrently installable versions should not co=
nflict 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/scr=
ipts, not providing importable libraries, that use all of the standard dist=
ribution/installation mechanics that the python ecosystem offers and recomm=
ends. These all end up living in the version specific python environment ev=
en if the only normal way of accessing functionality is via LOCALBASE/bin s=
cripts.

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 necess=
ary
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 prefix=
ed, 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)
