Created attachment 465412 [details] emerge --info pypy3-bin Trying to use multiprocessing.sharedctypes.RawValue fails with: NameError: global name 'buffer' is not defined This can be reproduced with the following command: pypy3 -c "from multiprocessing.sharedctypes import RawValue; a = RawValue(typecode_or_type='i'); print('success =)')" I have tried dev-python/pypy3-{5.5.0_alpha, 9999}::gentoo and dev-python/pypy3-bin-5.5.0_alpha::gentoo, and they all behave the same way. However the test passes with the binary I downloaded from http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/py3.5/pypy-c-jit-latest-linux64.tar.bz2 so I think it has to do with the gentoo ebuild/patches, not with pypy3.

Created attachment 465416 [details] tests with pypy-c-jit-90367-4618cb6fc961-linux64 and /usr/bin/pypy3 Testing with the vanilla build from pypy3 repository vs pypy3-bin from gentoo repository. (I'm using bin currently because it's quicker to test, but I have also tried both versions of pypy3 from source and they also failed.
EBUILD keyword is for bugs which include fixed ebuilds ;-). And we don't really use keywords much, so don't bother setting them. As for this issue, I'll try to look at it in a few days. However, I can't promise you much since PyPy is a very complex thing. I don't think we really do anything around the build that could cause this -- which is more likely to be a generic problem when building on Gentoo. If you have resources to test this, you can try building PyPy locally and seeing if it works.
Created attachment 465930 [details] test with pypy3 built locally from pypy3.5 branch from https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy I have already done that too. I cloned the repository and built the py3.5 branch, test passed.
Could you retry with 5.9.0? It succeeds (from -bin) on my system.
