this bad line in setup.py causes the error: 'requires': 'Python (>2.2.1)', distutils expects a sequence of strings but instead gets a sequence of characters and can't interpret the requirement constraint. this isn't beta3's only problem, though. i tried making 'requires' a list by adding this to the ebuild: sed -e "s/'Python (>2.2.1)'/\['Python (>2.2.1)'\]/" -i setup.py it only throws a new bizarre error: >>> Unpacking 4Suite-XML-1.0b3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/4suite-1.0_beta3-r1/work * Applying 1.0_b3-add_root_opt.diff ... [ ok ] error in 4Suite setup command: field 'timestamp' must be int or long, not float >>> Source unpacked. these problems have been addressed by upstream. one should probably ditch 1.0 pre-releases and use 1.0.2 available at bug #159259.
Version bump 1.0.2 solved this issue as well.
