Good news. Another heads up for those that might interpret this wrongly.
ZFS does not depend on python for normal day to day use. Though if you
would like to use the functions listed below you would need to install
python as well, ports/sysutils/py-zfs. You should refer to the man page
for zfs(1) for further details on these commands.

As per UPDATING: (20100915)
A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged.
This version uses a python library for the following subcommands:
zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace.
For full functionality of these commands the following port must
be installed: sysutils/py-zfs
