Hi, There are some issues with the doc generation. There's a cd "${BEST_BUILD_DIR}" || die line in the ebuild but AFAICT there's no such variable. Furthermore, epydoc only supports python2.7. So when the active interpreter is python3, the doc generation fails with: +--------------------------------------------------------------------- | In /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pyicu-1.9.3/work/ | PyICU-1.9.3-python3_4/icu.py: | Import failed (but source code parsing was successful). | Error: ImportError: No module named _icu (line 37) | because the build dir is PyICU-1.9.3-python3_4 which contains _icu.cpython-34.so while the active interpreter is python2 for epydoc. I can confirm that the docs are properly generated if the build dir is PyICU-1.9.3-python2_7. Lastly, dohtml is deprecated in EAPI 6.
Fixed in 9c3f27570684bb7361652b13f6e6718fbe0ca5b0 and 221f3df7257b52f54f89b367760fe6cf8e165317, thanks for the heads-up.
