Python 3.8 is a part of ~amd64 now, and it seems the latest version of python-daemon was released after Python 3.8. I have not seen that it has been verified against 3.8, but I've tested it with my own software and it seems to work well enough for that.
Created attachment 641956 [details] Ebuild with 3.8 support specified I just added 3.8 specified as support. Repoman complains about deprecated dependency, something I do not know enough about to fix. RepoMan scours the neighborhood... dependency.deprecated 1 dev-python/python-daemon/python-daemon-2.1.2-r1.ebuild: 'dev-python/unittest2[python_targets_python3_6(-)?,python_targets_python3_7(-)?,python_targets_python3_8(-)?,-python_single_target_python3_6(-),-python_single_target_python3_7(-),-python_single_target_python3_8(-)]'
I have found that there is a blocking bug in <=2.2.4 that prohibits it from working with Python 3.8. Adding dependency on version bump bug.
python-daemon 2.3.0 was just added to the tree, including Python 3-support. Resolving as obsolete.
