gyp-99999999999999.ebuild

I'm running PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8", but the gyp ebuild only supports 3.6 and 3.7. I've modified the ebuild in my local repository to add 3.8, and as far as I can tell it seems to work correctly. I have used it to build mozc.

Please see attached an updated ebuild, I hope this can be useful to others.

Why you do not send patch for test suite with Python 3.8 to GYP upstream?

I don't have time to patch GYP. It fails the same tests as 3.7 according to the buildbot/travis-test.sh script. There are no additional incompatibilities in 3.8. This ebuild update suffices for my usage (and likely others who are only using GYP for mozc).
Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2020-07-06 19:09:14 UTC 
If you tried `PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8" ebuild gyp-99999999999999.ebuild test`, you would see that test suite fails to run.
Comment 4 jdek 2020-07-06 20:32:57 UTC 
I ran the tests outside of the ebuild, the difference is that I did not use `--verbose`, this breaks the tests. The ebuild can be 'fixed' by removing this option.
