The only thing I see in the build.log is:
configure: error: this package requires Python >= 2.4.

However:
mingdao@HTPC ~ $ eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.2 *

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-03-15 01:22:00 UTC]

Simply don't set python 3.2 as your "system" python for now.

[Comment 3 mingdao 2012-03-15 14:49:24 UTC]

Builds fine with python2.7 ... thanks.

Ebuild fix to choose python-2 during build process

Tested this fix today; had Python-3.1 eselected instead of 3.2, but I expect it would have failed without this anyways.

Patch is against the 11.0_rc1 ebuild.

[Comment 5 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2012-03-15 19:04:14 UTC]

Note, this just fixes compilation -- i have no idea what will happen at runtime, but I expect that there will be issues, given all the scripts seem to use '/usr/bin/python' shebangs, instead of '/usr/bin/python2' (or the specific python2 flavour xbmc was compiled against)

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2012-03-19 00:04:25 UTC]

looks like people are making commits without talking to anyone

http://sources.gentoo.org/media-tv/xbmc/xbmc-9999.ebuild?r1=1.102&r2=1.103

[Comment 7 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2012-03-19 14:03:55 UTC]

Hmm, yes.  

That PYTHON_DEPEND in -9999 should change to "2" though; given that upstream still (only) supports python-2.4 ...

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2012-03-23 05:00:02 UTC]

maybe ... but seeing as we don't have python-2.4 in the tree, and no one really cares about python-2.5 anymore, it's kind of a moot point ...

I replied to this and attached the ebuild in the above comment. When I hit submit it didn't have this reply. I don't know how to use this bug tracker. Anyway...

I've built it with the above attachment with python2.7 selected as default, and with python3.2 selected as default. It runs either way. Currently using it with python3.2 set as default.
