sec-policy/selinux-base-2.20190201-r1 emerge log

I was following the SELinux install guide on the Gentoo wiki, and the step which has me run `FEATURES="-selinux" emerge -1 selinux-base` fails with a Python syntax error:

python3 -t -t -E -W error support/sedoctool.py -b policy/booleans.conf -m policy/modules.conf -x doc/policy.xml
  File "support/sedoctool.py", line 269
    if desc.data is not '':
       ^
SyntaxError: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?

I've attached a full log of a failed emerge.

Has anyone had a chance to look at this yet?
