Yes, it is a python 3 error. I can't find a bug but I'm sure I've seen this before. I am able to reproduce this using python 3. This is fixed in layman-2.2.0 and -9999. Please upgrade to 2.2.0 Also: # emerge --info layman Portage 2.2.13 ... Upgrade your portage version too. There were a number of bugs with the new ebuild/setup.py install that are fixed in portage-2.2.14_rc1. There are only a couple tiny ones left that will be fixed in the 2.2.14 final we should have released in a few weeks.
