Created attachment 866560 [details] build log
I can confirm the behaviour as soon as python3.12 is installed. If I remove python3.12 (and use python3.11) the package builds properly.
Just needs to use python-any-r1.
If your merge failed because you depend on modemmanager, adding this to your use flags will remove this dep: net-misc/modemmanager -mbim -qrtr -qmi
Error comes from meson.build's find_installation('python3') rather than something custom libmbim itself is doing, and: 16:28 < ztrawhcse> ionen: yeah, meson itself doesn't care if you have distutils, and meson's find_program('python3') doesn't care either, but the find_installation() bits that are specifically intended to compile python extensions and install them to site-packages... do need distutils to figure out how to compile/link against the python installation But one thing is that this doesn't install anything to site-packages...? My impression is that this is using the wrong way to find python. fwics it's only using it to call a command: command: [ python, mbim_mkenums, And with find_program distutils shouldn't matter.
Either way I'll just drop 3.12 compat for now so it's stop failing over this. I think this should ideally be handled upstream. And meanwhile it'd probably be better to either patch meson.build than add a setuptools check, or wait till a bump that fixes it to add compat.
Yup, this is a common weirdness. The "correct" way to find a program -- any program -- is to use `find_program('XXX')`, but some people think that just because `import('python').find_installation()` exists that it is somehow the "better" way to... find a program. The reality is that find_installation runs some relatively slow checks which aren't guaranteed to succeed (witness the requirement for distutils) that is totally irrelevant for finding a program, but vital for compiling C extensions against the Python headers. Slow is, naturally, bad. :D In this case it happens to break entirely. Switching to find_program() is a nice optimization that also makes it compatible with python 3.12 without adding a pointless dependency on dev-python/setuptools.
