Cannot compile pyid3lib 0.5.1 on Gentoo AMD64. Get deprecated type warnings and errors relating to not being able to use int with Py_ssize_t. In Python 2.5, sequence indices were changed from int to Py_ssize_t. Please see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/ for more information. I based my fix on this information and the helpful checking script linked to from that URL. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge pyid3lib. Actual Results: Emerge fails with deprecated warnings and compiler typing errors. Expected Results: Emerge to successfully build pyid3lib, at least without errors, but preferably without warnings, as well. I have a less than optimal patch that allows me to compile pyid3lib on my amd64 machine with no errors or warnings. I have did some simple testing with my program that utilizes the library to manage MP3s using ID3 tagging. emerge --info output and patch will be attached.
Created attachment 127221 [details] emerge --info output.
Created attachment 127222 [details, diff] Patch to compile pyid3lib with emerge. This patch is not backward compatible with previous Python versions. Please see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/ for proper backward compatibility handling.

I've tested it on an amd64 box with py2.4 and 2.5 and it seems to work fine. Please reopen the bug if you still have problems. Thanks for reporting! :)

For some reason /usr/sbin/python-updater tries to pull in the 0.5.1 version and not the r1 version, even though the line "dev-python/pyid3lib ~amd64" is present in /etc/portage/package.keywords. Emerging pyid3lib normally works as expected though. After emerging it normally python-updater does not complain either, just as expected. Maybe this behaviour should be fixed in python-updater?
