Today I got my periodic reminder of how much I fucking despise Python, and every so-called tool that has chosen to depend upon Python. Fuck this whole "ecosystem". I mean really get right up in there and fuck it. mesa-25.3.1# meson setup build ... Program python3 found: YES 3.9.6 3.9.6 (/usr/bin/python3) meson.build:964:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required

Today I got my periodic reminder of how much I fucking despise Python, and every so-called tool that has chosen to depend upon Python.

Fuck this whole “ecosystem”. I mean really get right up in there and fuck it.

mesa-25.3.1# meson setup build … Program python3 found: YES 3.9.6 3.9.6 (/usr/bin/python3) meson.build:964:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa. … mesa-25.3.1# port installed py-mako The following ports are currently installed: py-mako @1.3.10_0 (active)
