If you enable the python use flag without pip installed, several packages will attempt to install pip on their own. This causes a write outside of the sandbox and the build fails. If you manually install pip, then the packages will build normally. It seems like either these packages should change or enabling the python use flag should pull in pip as a dependency for these packages. I had this issue with the following packages: dev-python/cython-cython-0.21 sys-libs/cracklib-2.9.1-r1 dev-python/zope-interface-4.1.1 Log file Attached. emerge --info Portage 2.2.14 (python
