Description Phil Turmel 2018-11-06 15:07:27 UTC 
Works with python 3.5 and 3.6. Seems a python version check is in order.  Fails with python 3.4 like so:

As this ticket is still in state UNCONFIRMED: I had the same issue, python3.4 was my first preferred version in 'eselect python'

Switching to a newer version solved it for me.
Comment 2 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2019-07-01 16:23:36 UTC 
Wit the demise of python-3.4 this became obsolete.
