Please post the exact error message or even better attach the build log of the failed emerge to this bug.

Comment 3 Aelia 2009-03-27 08:16:14 UTC

so I'll add here how I found out the real problem:

I opened the setup.py file and saw :
import sys

try:
    # kaa base imports
    from kaa.distribution.core import Extension, setup
except ImportError:
    print 'kaa.base not installed'
    sys.exit(1)

from here it was clear that the problem wasn't really kaa.base so I opened a python interpreter and pasted only 
import sys
 from kaa.distribution.core import Extension

and the real error appeared

+  27 Apr 2009; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> kaa-metadata-0.7.5:
+  Bump to eapi2, adding python[threads] dep, fixes #263743
+

since kaa-base already has a python[threads] dep this is strictly speaking not needed, but makes things more predictable.
