 The commented-out dependencies in py-pyphant-tools and py-pyphant-osc are
 outdated and have been removed. The suggested patch for py-pyphant-
 imageprocessing will break the port, as PIL is also a dependency on the
 setuptools level. The runtime plugin mechanism for adding the py-pyphant-
 imageprocessing toolbox to py-pyphant will fail when it cannot resolve
 this dependency as it is based on pkg_resources. The Pillow/PIL fallback
 mechanism would also have to be implemented on the setuptools level. We
 are working on a solution for py-pyphant-imageprocessing. Any helpful
 input is welcome. We have also set all pyphant related ports to
 openmaintainer.
