Not true any longer, at least for the binary packages I produce[0]. I switched them over to trunk-based builds a while ago, which are updated every few days.

How is situation with python3 on osx? Last time I used pkgin, it was not compiled as Framework preventing some libraries to work properly

They're all available:

    $ pkgin se python3
    python35-3.5.1nb2    Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
    python34-3.4.4       Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
    python33-3.3.6nb3    Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language

along with a bunch of pre-packaged modules:

    $ pkgin avail | grep ^py3 | wc -l
        1412

Let me know if anything you need is missing and I'll add it.

Thanks. I had to look back at my notes. I had issues with matplotlib and few other packages at the time with python 3.4, due to python not being built as framework.

I have just found a related issue: https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/issues/331 Unfortunately, from what I read there, I have still to use homebrew or install from python.org (with those I have no issue). I really enjoyed pkgin otherwise.
