When trying to emerge =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3 under AMD64 with Python 2.6, the build and install phases seem to finish without errors. However, obviously when running the qmerge phase, a syntax error is reported when byte-compiling the module "TextTools.py". Although this does not make the actual emerge operation fail, it seems highly likely that "TextTools.py" will not work later, leading to build or runtime failures in other ebuilds which require a working "TextTools.py". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av1 =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3 Actual Results: <<< dir /usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.7.3 <<< dir /usr/share/doc/libxml2-2.7.3 * Cleaning orphaned Python bytecode from /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages .. >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> Original instance of package unmerged safely. * Byte compiling python modules for python-2.6 .. ...

Renamed bug title - it turned out that the complaining source text TextTools.py belongs to =dev-python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.5 rather than to =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3 However, the actual issue still remains: 1. emerge -av1 =dev-python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.5 2. emerge -av1 =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3 Although TextTools.py belongs to the first ebuild, it is the second one which displays the error messages.
