Bug 431056 – sys-apps/pkgcore-0.8 - installation fails with dev-lang/python-3.2 due to use of dict.iteritems and dict.itervalues in setup.py

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Arne Babenhauserheide 2012-08-12 09:45:21 UTC]

Emerging pkgcore during installation on a brand new Gentoo system fails, 
due to python 3.2 being default in 2to3 not converting
dict.iteritems and dict.itervalues to dict.items and dict.values.

The to-be-attached patch and updated ebuild fix installation.

I still get the same error with this patch. It has done nothing to help my situation. Also this bug has nothing to do with a new install or old of gentoo.

Would anyone be horribly offended if I added this to the ebuild?

pkg_setup() {
        python_set_active_version 2
        python_pkg_setup
}

It would be awesome if the only versions of pkgcore left in the tree were actually able to install...

releasing shortly.
