New description:

 When trying to run 'byobu-config' I get,
 {{{
 ERROR: Could not import the python snack module.
 }}}

 So I attempted to install snack with 'pip install snack' and that failed
 with an error. Then searching for that error lead me to learn that snack
 hasn't been ported to python3 and there is no solution (see
 https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/423515/byobu-not-working-on-new-
 installation-of-macos).

Comment:

 Weird: the byobu port doesn't mention that it uses python. But you're
 right, the contents of `byobu-config` are just:

 {{{#!sh
 #!/bin/sh -e
 }}}
 {{{#!sh
 PKG="byobu"
 [ -z "${BYOBU_PREFIX}" ] && export BYOBU_PREFIX="/opt/local" || export
 BYOBU_PREFIX
 . "${BYOBU_PREFIX}/lib/${PKG}/include/common"

 ${BYOBU_PYTHON} "${BYOBU_PREFIX}/lib/${PKG}/include/config.py"
 }}}

 So the byobu port should declare a library dependency on whatever newest
 version of python it is compatible with and the build process should
 ensure that that version of python is used.

 You can use `pip` to install modules for your own use in your own user
 directories (e.g. in a virtualenv) but shouldn't use it to try to install
 things into the system (MacPorts) directories.
