- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml

Created attachment 293965 [details, diff] ebuild patch
(In reply to comment #2) pkg_setup() { python_set_active_version 2 python_pkg_setup } ${FILESDIR}/pymsn-t-initd should be fixed to not explicitly call /usr/bin/python. ${ED}$(python_get_sitedir)/pymsn-t/pymsn-t.py should be executable. Shebang in this script should be fixed.
Created attachment 294021 [details, diff] revised ebuild patch
(In reply to comment #4) It's better to directly change the file in ${FILESDIR}. ${ED} should be quoted.
(In reply to comment #4) Since pymsn-t.py script is in site-packages, it should have less generic shebang: python_convert_shebangs ${PYTHON_ABI} "${ED}$(python_get_sitedir)/pymsn-t/pymsn-t.py"
