Hi, if python3 is set as system default the build of rhythmbox fails with the following error: make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/rhythmbox-0.12.8-r1/work/rhythmbox-0.12.8/bindings/python' ( cd . && /usr/bin/python /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/codegen/codegen.py \ --register /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtk-types.defs \ --register /usr/share/gst-python/0.10/defs/gst-types.defs \ --override rhythmdb.override \ --prefix pyrhythmdb rhythmdb.defs ) > rhythmdb.c ( cd . && /usr/bin/python /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/codegen/codegen.py \ --register /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtk-types.defs \ --register /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gdk-base-types.defs \ --register /usr/share/gst-python/0.10/defs/gst-types.defs \ --register rhythmdb.defs \ --override rb.override \ --prefix pyrb rb.defs ) > rb.c File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/codegen/codegen.py", line 429 except argtypes.ArgTypeError, ex: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax make[3]: *** [rhythmdb.c] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eselect python set 2 (if 2 is python3.1) 2. emerge media-sound/rhythmbox Expected Results: Build should not fail with the python error.
