The packages are stuck on py3.6 which means they will be pain once we switch to 3.7. Please test them on 3.7 *and* 3.8 (so we don't to revisit this in a few months), and update PYTHON_COMPAT appropriately. If it doesn't work, please either fix it, remove Python or issue last rites. Please consider this urgent.
Pardon me chiming in from the sidelines, and pardon if it's already obvious. The restriction on python-3.6 is only due to the pythondialog dependency. pythondialog-3.5 supports python-3.7 at least, but is not in-tree yet, though I don't understand why. Also, the dependency on pythondialog is optional, so the ebuild _could_ grow a u se-dependency for cl-interactive mode. That would be straightfowward except for the name of the use flag... I can't find a good match in the existing set. The ebuld could also drop the pythondialog completely, if the pythondialog depen dency can't be resolved. Before the protonvpn-cli was merged upstream (and I migrated back to python-3.6 because of it), I used a local buld of the protonvpn-cli with the native python-3.7 install. I built and used versions with and without tying in pythondialog-3.5 as the python-3.7-compliant dependency. Upstream is fully fine with python-3.7 as well.
Thank you, Andre. I was about to point this out. I'm glad you beat me to it, as I need to make sure I don't overlook these messages from gentoo bugzilla. Ideally, pythondialog will be ported to support python3_{7,8} and this will be fixed by a pull-request on which I'm already working. However, since pythondialog seems to be only an optional dependency for interactive sessions with protonvpn-cli, I am also working on fixing the ebuild to reflect that; perhaps with a USE flag. I hope that clears up any issues regarding this bug, as I noticed this package listed as "up for grabs".
