Description Alon Bar-Lev 2011-10-22 18:46:03 UTC 
Workaround:

EPYTHON=python2 emerge --oneshot sys-apps/seabios

This package has no configure or any override, it uses plain:
#!/usr/bin/env python

So either use python eclass to rewrite the header or force python2.
Comment 1 Chris Mayo 2011-10-23 12:06:02 UTC 
Adding:
pkg_setup() {
    python_set_active_version 2
}

did fix this for me but meant dropping the EAPI to 3 to allow inherit python.
Comment 2 Chris Mayo 2011-10-23 12:07:04 UTC 
Shouldn't have just copied and pasted - works fine with EAPI 4 now.
Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-17 22:37:05 UTC 
This should be fixed in the tree.
Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-01-18 14:02:40 UTC 
You should add build-time dependency on Python 2.
