Created attachment 512144 [details] Updated ebuild with working Python module When the "python" USE flag is enabled, the ebuild deletes the library that implements the interface. If installed with USE="python", "import ledger" succeeds but no types are imported or can be used. This is because the ebuild deliberately deletes "ledger.so" from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ to avoid a warning. Instead, it installs a folder of demos from the source package. The warning is due to a null DT_RUNPATH in the library. This is an upstream bug and I believe is fixed automatically by scanelf. The warning can be avoided by supplying an appropriate flag to CMake. The attached ebuild: a) removes the deletion, b) does not install the demos into site-packages, c) amends the CMake flags to avoid the warning.
I can confirm that the problem with the broken python interface exists and that the attached ebuild by James fixes the issue.
