Norris notes in his phlog that he's
replaced pygopherd with gophernicus
because pygopherd, based on Python 2,
has been removed from Debian
testing[1].
Pygopherd is my go-to gopher server
because it's very stable and has a
brilliant feature -- it serves up your
gopher content over http as well.
Here's an example:
http://gopher.visiblink.ca:70/
I too noticed a few months ago that
pygopherd was no longer in Debian
testing, and opened an issue on the
project's github page[2].
Fortunately, Michael Lazar, the man
behind mozz.us on gopher, gemini, and
the www, agreed to take over the
project and has almost completed the
upgrade to Python 3. Hats off to him
and to John Goertzen for creating
pygopherd in the first place -- and
for volunteering to maintain the
Debian package in the future.
