wxpython-2.6.3.3 has some fixes for this. Unfortunately I'll need a bit more to put this in the tree, but in the risk of missing out some other fixes, python2.5 support could be tested out by copying wxpython-2.6.3.2 to wxpython-2.6.3.3, and changing the SRC_URI ending from .gz to .bz2 Does 2.6.3.3 fix problems for python2.5? The changelog states that there _might_ be remaining problems for 64-bit support.
It merged successfully for me on amd64 with version 2.6.3.3, achieved by renaming the ebuild and changing the download URL. I also had to change the minimum version of wxGTK in the ebuild to 2.6.3.2 explicitly.
wxpython-2.6.3.3 fixed the problem here. h wxpython # equery --info Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/equery", line 27, in <module> import gentoolkit File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/__init__.py", line 33, in <module> virtuals = portage.db[portage.root]["virtuals"] File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 812, in __getitem__ return value_callable(*pargs, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 796, in __call__ self._value = self._callable(*self._pargs, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1677, in getvirtuals self.treeVirtuals = map_dictlist_vals(getCPFromCPV,temp_vartree.get_all_provides()) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4458, in get_all_provides for mykey in self.get_provide(node): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4433, in get_provide mylines = grabfile(self.root+VDB_PATH+"/"+mycpv+"/PROVIDE") File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 45, in grabfile mylines=grablines(myfilename, recursive) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 204, in grablines mylines = myfile.readlines() KeyboardInterrupt h wxpython # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-mm5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-mm5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 15:50:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.2.11-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1, 2.5-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -mtune=k8 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -mtune=k8 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.mneisen.org/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.utf8" LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib accessibility acpi alsa aotuv apache2 artworkextra asf audiofile avahi beagle berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo caps cddb cdr cli crypt cups curl dbus dga dlloader dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fltk font-server fontconfig foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glitz gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal hbci hddtemp howl imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jack jpeg kernel_linux libcaca libnotify libsamplerate linguas_de logrotate lzo lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod mjpeg modplug mono mp3 mpeg musepack mysql nautilus ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvtv ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pam_console pcre pdf perl php png ppds pppd python qt3 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba sdl session sid smartcard sndfile spell spl ssl t1lib tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userland_GNU v4l2 vcd video_cards_nv video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga vorbis wma xine xinerama xml xmms xorg xosd xpm xprint xrandr xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
