emerging sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc40 with the epydoc use flag set gives me this error: ... ... ... Writing index.html for book(portage) xmlto xhtml-nochunks -m custom.xsl portage.docbook * Generating api docs UNEXPECTED ERROR: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 505-507: invalid data Use --debug to see trace information. ... followed by the emerge error warning without this flag it emerges fine. Please fix this.
Post the output of: emerge --info emerge -ptv epydoc pysqlite
It looks similar to bug #208759 (maybe it's a different version of pysqlite though). Make sure you have the latest version of pysqlite. Also, you may be able to workaround it by enabling USE=sqlite for dev-lang/python.

(In reply to comment #4) > [ebuild U ] dev-python/pysqlite-2.5.5 [2.4.1] USE="examples" 72 kB I guess it's the same as bug 208759, since you have pysqlite-2.4.1. I suppose that we should make the portage ebuilds block <=dev-python/pysqlite-2.4.1 so that this kind of thing can't happen.
I'm still getting this now with portage-2.2_rc42 an pysqlite 2.5.5. The ~x86 version is only 2.5.5-r1 so I'm not sure it's worth upgrading.
*** Bug 306489 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've patched the ebuilds to create a fake pysqlite2 module when running epydoc.
