Victor: That is a change that has been implemented in the downstream port to fix wxPython, see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192365 this ended up in this patch as my primary objective was to fix it for the FreeBSD port.

Antoine: Sorry, I'm not a python dev... I'm willing to do the work if you can provide the guidance... This was merely a "works-for-me(TM)" patch. Since nothing actually uses egd any longer I would not spend to much effort on it. The odds of anyone requiring EGD support _and_ using LibreSSL are negligable. EGD is last centuries technology, there's no sense in mixing that with current tech.
