Created attachment 544462 [details] ebuild which fixes setup.py by using 'sed' setup.py contains the following lines which I don't understand (see below) with open(headername) as fd: for line in fd: if 'H5_VERS_MAJOR' in line: major_version = int(re.split("\s*", line)[2]) if 'H5_VERS_MINOR' in line: minor_version = int(re.split("\s*", line)[2]) if 'H5_VERS_RELEASE' in line: release_version = int(re.split("\s*", line)[2]) The regular expression "\s*" matches everywhere, such that re.split generates a list of every character of 'line' which gives an invalid conversion from a non-numeric character to an int. I think what one needs is re.split("\s+") which makes the above code work fine with Python3.6 as well as with Python3.7
Thanks for your work, please attach unified diffs instead of full ebuilds for easy review of your changes.
