IIUC you want to import devel/py-dateparser and devel/py-regex to
fulfill the test deps of an updated py-arrow. But as you noticed,
py-arrow has no consumer, it was imported as a dep of cookiecutter,
along with a bunch of other py ports:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&s=cookiecutter

But cookiecutter never made it into our tree. Regarding cookiecutter:

https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/blob/master/setup.py#L27

lists jinja2-time, which in turn depends on py-arrow.

Daniel and Kurt discussed removing py-whichcraft last year:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=155597775827772&w=2

But nobody found a use for those modules since, and nobody took
maintainership.

Question: should we just remove py-arrow, py-chai, py-binaryornot and
py-whichcraft now, instead of hoping they'll be useful to someone one day?
