graphics/gimp has Python support ON by default. This pulls in graphics/py-gimp which is a rather old port and requires Python 2.7 explicitly. From the Makefile for graphics/py-gimp: DEPRECATED= Uses deprecated version of python EXPIRATION_DATE= 2020-08-15 GIMP_SLAVE= pygimp USES= python:2.7 USE_GNOME= pygtk2 The Fedora community has a similar problem, just before their 32 release: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737933 GIMP3 is in the making and it *should* default to Python3, however no info is available on the official Roadmap: https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap#GIMP_3.0 I can start tinkering with GIMP3 to see whether it's possible to re-use the current Makefile, but that would still provide a "gimp-devel" port at best. The alternative would be to disable Python support in graphics/gimp so that the port continues building past its expiration date.

@Andy do you have any updates on this or should we just remove the py-gimp plugin?
(In reply to Rene Ladan from comment #2) I was hoping to get some feedback from the gnome@FreeBSD.org group, but since no one replied, I think this can be closed. You can go ahead and remove the plugin. Thanks!
(In reply to Andy Mender from comment #3) OK, I'll remove the plugin. Perhaps it can be re-added once it is upgraded to Python3. Closing as OBE which seems to be the most suitable option.
