This is not a duplicate. Emerging dev-python/python-musicbrainz2 from an overlay maybe could help me with playing audio CDs, but my problem is not related to CDs but to launching Listen. Here's the output after emerging mentioned library. Listen still does not launch. Take a closer look at the lines below "No iPod support". These lines do not occur in the case described in bug #175495. $ listen /usr/lib/listen/stock.py:78: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file /usr/lib/listen/const.py on line 117, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details import const /usr/lib/listen/player.py:33: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file /usr/lib/listen/song.py on line 716, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details from song import sType No iPod support Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/listen/listen.py", line 219, in ?

I can confirm the same problem in my amd64: "/usr/lib64/listen/stock.py:78: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file /usr/lib64/listen/const.py on line 117, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details import const /usr/lib64/listen/player.py:33: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file /usr/lib64/listen/song.py on line 716, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details from song import sType No musicbrainz support (musicbrainz2 missing) No iPod support No Audio cd support (musicbrainz2 missing) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/listen/listen.py", line 219, in ?

Please check http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179086 an try the fix provided there (helped me and I had the same problem). Close this one here if it works. Cheers, Marc.
(In reply to comment #1) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 175495 *** > Hello Jakub, the problem is more specific to python 2.5. The ebuild definitely fails to compile for people who doesn't have other version of python installed. For people using python 2.5(.x), here is a mega patch and few more modifications in the ebuild to take account to the subversions of python 2.5 It would be great to add functions like isPython() i added to the ebuild in portage tree to make it more accurate when testing python versions :) Jj
Created attachment 122059 [details] listen for python 2.5.x
Created attachment 122061 [details, diff] patch that takes account of utf-8 encoding
Created attachment 122063 [details, diff] a dbus fix for python 2.5

I can't say anything about Jj's ebuild as I haven't checked it. Thanks for help, Marc. Best regards, Jan
try 0.5-r1 thanks
Works perfectly. Thank you for your help.
