Hi,
after 2 years without releases, seems pidgin got a new upstream
maintainer who recently did
https://pidgin.im/posts/2020-06-2.14.0-released/ (and
https://pidgin.im/posts/2020-06-2.14.1-released/ next)
noteworthy in this update.. the python bits relying on py2/pygtk were
updated for py3, per
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/src/release-2.x.y/ChangeLog and
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/commits/38a40ddbb9b76ac8918c5743eebee51e811b43ce
- which is
good, as less ports depending on pygtk is wanted.
and the curses toolkit used for finch was split in its own repo/lib
which requires a new port: https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/libgnt
brad, as the port maintainer, are you working on updating our port ?
or eventually backporting the python bits so that we can remove the
dependency on pygtk ?

I don't have anything at the moment but I'll take a look.
