As you implied, dev-java/asm-5 is required here. This is now in the tree but still with a SLOT of 4 as it is backwards compatible. You should use >=dev-java/asm-5:4. It still didn't build though as the "posix" errors are a different problem. Perhaps jnr-posix needs updating?
dev-java/jnr-posix-3.0.2 is sufficient to avoid these errors in src/org/python/modules/posix/PosixModule.java.
2.7.0 released and working with a few small dep changes, committed :)
