- 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 234033 [details, diff] second attempt to prevent it from failing against python 3
Created attachment 235501 [details, diff] gnome-menus.patch This patch only removes deprecation warnings and fixes calls to python_mod_cleanup(). pkg_postrm() is executed with values of USE flags of previously installed ebuild. python_mod_cleanup() will trigger call to die(), when Python isn't installed. python_get_sitedir() in pkg_postrm() after calling python_mod_optimize() in pkg_postinst() prints path to site-packages directory of this version of Python, which was locally active in previously installed ebuild at the time when pkg_postinst() was run. I will commit this patch, if you don't object in 1 week.
