Although seems to emerge fine, pyxml actually contains code that raises a syntax error on execution in python-2.6. The error can be observed when compiling the module, as seen in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247316 where wxpython installation triggers the compiling of pyxml module. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge python-2.6 2.run python-updater 3.emerge pyxml 4.emerge wxpython This can be solved by renamig the variable "as" in the offending files to something else (for example "as_")
Created attachment 175310 [details, diff] ranames "as" to "as_" This should probably fix it

well, upstream page says the project is discontinued and 0.8.4 release dates back from 2004.
So may be just add the patch to the portage and mark this bug as solved?
well it appears its in portage. should be marked as fixed
alright then, marking this as fixed I guess?
