Bug 616934 – app-portage/gentoolkit: Add support for python 3.6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description fhede 2017-04-29 06:30:48 UTC]

Just updated to python 3.6.


[ebuild   R    ] app-portage/gentoolkit-0.4.0  PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_4*"

[Comment 1 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2017-05-04 17:30:55 UTC]

I've updated my local overlay to enable Python 3.6 for gentoolkit. I've already found an issue with revdep-rebuild.

I will keep testing, but if anyone else wants to test, copy either the gentoolkit-0.4.0 or gentoolkit-9999 ebuild to your local overlay and change PYTHON_COMPAT to be:

PYTHON_COMPAT=(python{2_7,3_4,3_5,3_6} pypy)

If you find an issue, please file a bug and make it block this bug.

Python 3.6 has been added to PYTHON_COMPAT in 0.4.1 ebuild but not in 9999.

meanwhile python3_6 has been added to 0.4.0 ebuild, but could it be that this beauty here:

comes from 0.4.0 not supporting python3_6 as python3 at all? 

I keyworded 0.4.2-r1, which works just fine. Also build 0.4.0 with python2_7 only, which works fine as well.

Since gentoolkit contains so many tools, it probably means that most of the tools work fine with python3.6, I see the PYTHON_COMPAT was adjusted by this commit:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=9845156c143c6d1ece2ae3a21da8a41daa6c3649

Great! Thanks for reporting.
