• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Kredba 2021-05-13 05:39:43 UTC]

Please add python-3.9 support.

[Comment 1 David Kredba 2021-05-13 05:42:02 UTC]

There is a note about it in the ebuild:
# vtk needs updating to use 3.9

sci-libs/vtk has been updated now (if I understand the ebuild correctly!). Here is the PYTHON_COMPAT line in the vtk-9.0.1 ebuild:

PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{7,8,9} )

There are several issues with opencascade and freecad building against vtk-9, which needs patching both of them. It will take some more time to fix these.

The relevant PR to get python-3.9 into freecad is https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/21110 which adds py39 support to vtk-8.

I can confirm that updating freecad to python-3.9 worked for me with these patches.

Good to know :) Thanks for testing it. Anyway, we need to wait with an update for the PR to get merged.
