After maintaining py-libzfs for many years, the folks at ixSystems are shutting it down. They're putting their efforts into a new library instead, but the new library isn't intended to be portable; it's for TrueNAS Scale only. But I for one still use py-libzfs. So js@ and I are preparing a fork. I don't know for how much longer we'll continue to use it. We might just rewrite all of our code instead. But for at least a little while, we'll ensure that py-libzfs continues to work on FreeBSD. My fork isn't quite ready, but it will be soon, and then I'll update filesystems/py-libzfs .
