this is non-fatal. there is nothing wrong with the emerge, just that we're compiling files in pylint that are deliberately broken for testing purposes. have you tried running pylint after that? maybe we should move those out of site-packages or just not install them
The pylint-0.9.0 ebuild runs those tests in src_test and does not install them. Please test and close if it works for you.
i can confirm this fix. closing.
