Description
I am NOT a python programmer but I did install libsodium python 2.7 virtualenv py-dev and libffi from ports and keep getting the following

tried uninstalling and installing pbp via pip a couple of times(as well as libffi (via ports))
pyffi on the OSX 10.7 platform would seem to require python 3(I am stuck at python 2.7 for GNURADIO concerns)..
HELP? Suggestions?(and this is why I prefer delivery of security/crypto utils in c as the implementation vehicle tends to be more widely supported. python,ruby,java,what have you tends to be a bit more fragile with regards to the run time environment due to the additional layers of software infrastructure(and greatly increated local attack surface(host based attacks)) while warding off other classes of attacks... depends on where you want to draw your line in the sand.. and given I am very comfortable with c and the object code/linkages/machine code produced and NOT so comfy with python(as evidenced :)
ps will attempt openbsd amd64 5.1 next
