Description
Hi,
in the FreeBSD port net/vde2, file aclocal.m4, line 861 says:
[am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[[:3]])"`])
This does no longer work in Python 3.10; it will yield "3.1".
A possible fix:
python3.10 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write('.'.join([str(m) for m in sys.version_info[0:2]]))"
In case this problem does concern FreeBSD rather than your
project, please report it yourself. I will no longer report
any problems to the FreeBSD project since some of my reports
were totally ignored, some even for years.
Greetings,
Bertram

Start with the FreeBSD port net/vde2 and inspect aclocal.m4 at line 861, where the Python version is obtained. Reproduce the version parsing with Python 3.10 and verify the port installation or build succeeds while reporting the correct major and minor version.
