net/py-zeroconf 0.28.8p6 OpenBSD

This is fork of pyzeroconf, Multicast DNS Service Discovery for Python, originally by Paul Scott-Murphy (https://github.com/paulsm/pyzeroconf), modified by William McBrine (https://github.com/wmcbrine/pyzeroconf).

The original William McBrine's fork note:

This fork is used in all of my TiVo-related projects: HME for Python (and therefore HME/VLC), Network Remote, Remote Proxy, and pyTivo. Before this, I was tracking the changes for zeroconf.py in three separate repos. I figured I should have an authoritative source.

Although I make changes based on my experience with TiVos, I expect that they're generally applicable. This version also includes patches found on the now-defunct (?) Launchpad repo of pyzeroconf, and elsewhere around the net -- not always well-documented, sorry. Compatible with:

• Bonjour
• Avahi

Compared to some other Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi Python packages, python-zeroconf:

• isn't tied to Bonjour or Avahi
• doesn't use D-Bus
• doesn't force you to use particular event loop or Twisted
• is pip-installable
• has PyPI distribution
