media-video/obs-studio build does not support python 3.8 or 3.9, so it's one of the few packages that require python 3.7. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Attempt to upgrade all packages to use python_single_target_python3_8 or python_single_targets_python3_9, and remove python 3.6 and 3.7. Actual Results: media-video/obs-studio requires at most python 3.7. Expected Results: All packages are rebuilt to use python 3.8 or 3.9.
Unfortunately Python support in OBS Studio is broken since 3.8 [1] due to a change in Python itself. There is a way to fix it [2], but it looks like it might not be an entirely safe way to fix it. 1. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/3565 2. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/3335

It appears that the ebuild has now added Python 3.8 support without actually fixing the underlying issue, thus making python support simply broken with PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET=python3_8.

Unfortunately, obs-studio is genuinely not yet compatible with newer Pythons - it uses Python directly via extensions which are not yet working w/ 3.8+.

Given upstream seems unlikely to resolve this properly before obs-studio gets last-rited for not supporting python 3.8+, why not remove python support temporarily. Dropping python plugins is not brilliant, but its better than losing obs.
Yes, something will be done before that. Might use the "fix" mentioned here, while masking the flag, or at least adding a big warning about some scripts being broken with it. Mostly waiting to see if release 27 gets out before we do the thing.
