That is rather strange. If it were a library, I could understand, but when the software is clearly called Certbot at https://certbot.eff.org/ and the distfile is certbot-<version>.tar.gz, it's surprising that the pkgsrc package name is not just certbot. I don't think it's a Python thing since there are packages for programs in pkgsrc written mostly in Python that have not done that. For example, there's devel/mercurial But wait, what?! It seems that devel/mercurial is a meta package that includes devel/py-mercurial So, maybe it *is* a Python thing! That seems really bizarre. pkgsrc Masters, what's the story? Lewis
