Description Stefan Huber 2021-02-21 17:34:08 UTC

When emerging mirrorselect then a warning is shown:
/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mirrorselect/selectors.py:263: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you m
ean "!="?

This warning is reasonable. A fix with a comment as git-commit message can be found here on a clone of the mirrorselect git repository:
https://github.com/shuber2/mirrorselect/commit/be5193f7f87664f88709492ebdaccb7154f9c5bf

Reproducible: Always

Any news to this? It also happens during invocation of mirrorselect in some cases.

This seems to have been fixed by https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/mirrorselect.git/commit/?id=a61f2d061134d1a61254da4cd8c30cc9b4749cdb which is in 2.3.0.
