 Here's the bug report filed with byobu about this in 2021 with no
 response: https://bugs.launchpad.net/byobu/+bug/1914879

 Daniel, I got sidetracked a bit by your mention of the snack pip module.
 It took me a bit of research to understand that byobu is ''not'' looking
 for the snack 0.0.3 module currently on PyPI at
 https://pypi.org/project/snack/, which is an abandoned project of Cornell
 University for "Stochastic Neighbor and Crowd Kernel (SNaCK) embeddings:
 Quick and dirty visualization of large-scale datasets via concept
 embeddings". Homepage: https://vision.cornell.edu/se3/concept-embeddings/
 (expired SSL certificate). GitHub: https://github.com/cornelltech/snack

 Instead, byobu is looking for the snack module that is part of libnewt's
 python bindings and is used for developing text-based user interfaces.
 Hence the need for providing libnewt's python bindings in MacPorts as
 requested in #44044.
