Created attachment 313831 [details] updated ebuild that builds when python-3 is eselected It seems that 'waf', which is the build system used for flowcanvas, will not work with python-3. I attempted to patch the shebangs to specify python-2 instead of simply python, but this seemed to make no difference. Attached is a patched ebuild that #1 - uses the 'waf-utils' eclass to simplify the ebuild, and #2 - uses the necessary bits of python.eclass to ensure a python-2 is used. (note that I didn't change the package's KEYWORDS, but I expect that if this adjustment is acceptable that it could replace the existing ebuild for flowcanvas-0.7.1 directly)
