Python plugins don't work when compiled with python later than 3.8. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch system to python 3.8. 2. Emerge HexChat. 3. Launch HexChat. Actual Results: The following error message is displayed in the server window: AutoLoad failed for: /usr/lib64/hexchat/plugins/python.so /usr/lib64/hexchat/plugins/python.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_RuntimeError The issue has been reported upstream [1] and fixed [2], which also worked for me. I did not need it, but there's an extra commit to possibly handle some edge cases [3].
