>As of version 2.12, the reference implementation of pythondialog (which this file belongs to) requires Python 3.0 or later in the 3.x series. pythondialog 3.5.0 has been tested with Python 3.8. The current ebuild is limited to: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{5,6} pypy3 ) 3.5.0 introduces 3.8 support and PYTHON_COMPAT can be changed to: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{5,6,7,8} pypy3 ) Resolves: using python programs that all have modules with >=3.7 support except for pythondialog. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use ebuild to install protonvpn-cli 2. # protonvpn Actual Results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.7/protonvpn", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3251, in <module> @_call_aside File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3235, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3264, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 583, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 900, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 786, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pythondialog' distribution was not found and is required by protonvpn-cli Expected Results: Usage: protonvpn init protonvpn (c | connect) [<servername>] [-p <protocol>] [...] Choosing python 3.6 as my main python interpreter would have resolved this issue.
