- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml

Created attachment 229717 [details] syck-0.55.ebuild.diff Ok got it to work even when Python 3 is set as main active version of Python.
RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS is intended only for packages, which can be installed for e.g. both Python 2.6 and 2.7 simultaneously. distutils.eclass inherits python.eclass. PYTHON_DEPEND="python? 2" should be set before inherit().

Created attachment 230811 [details] syck-0.55-r5.ebuild After reviewing some of arfrever's ebuilds and starting to understand the guide this is my latest :)
There can be: DEPEND="python? ( !dev-python/pysyck )" python_set_active_version should be inside 'if use python; then ...; fi' block.
Created attachment 240165 [details] syck-0.55-r5.ebuild Ok hope this is correct, seems to work as expected :)
Looks like we have two items to address. 1. The ebuild needs to be updated to require python 2.7 e.g. PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.7" 2. Need a workaround to install this package on a machine that has been updated to python 3.x Any ideas?

Fixed in dev-libs/syck-0.55-r4.
