I was tempted to hijack the old bug, but, as it was close and not mine, I decided to create a new one. This will finally be an upstream bug. Yesterday, a corrected python 2.6 patch tarball hit the tree and I was finally able to emerge wxpython with it. It merged almost correctly. The almost part comes from these warnings: Compiling //usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbso luteLocationPath.py ... SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('//usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpa th/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py', 27, 10, " as = ParsedAxisSp ecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')\n")) Compiling //usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRela tiveLocationPath.py ... SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('//usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpa th/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py', 31, 10, " as = ParsedAxisSp ecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')\n")) Compiling //usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py ... SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('//usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py', 27, 10, " as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')\n")) Compiling //usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py ... SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('//usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py', 31, 10, " as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')\n")) I don't think they need to be explained.
Maybe we should close this as a duplicate of bug #250999?
