Created attachment 477826 [details] added python 3.6 compatibility media-player-info-22.ebuild causes the whole system to be dependent on python 3.5 or 3.4 even if python 3.6 is available. Attached ebuild solves this.
why do we know that it is python-3.6 compatible?
The installed package is just a list of data files in .mpi format, plus a udev hwdb and a file of udev rules. There are three small python 3 scripts in the tools folder. As far as I can tell the python 3 dependency is limited to the build process. And the package builds with python 3.6 just fine, without any apparent problems. I looked at the scripts and can't see anything that python 3.6 would break, but I'm not an expert, so it is definitely necessary for someone else to give a look.
Thanks, fixed in git. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=fe2909d67db62777c9debff9259cc120b62a1f5b
