- 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
Mailman fails on python3. This should be documented and shebangs need to be properly mangled. This includes the crontab, I believe, which calls ``/usr/bin/python -S''. You also get to have the fun of making sure that the direct calls to /usr/bin/python inside of the compiled portions of mailman call python2 ;-) ohnopublishing portage # grep -a -o '.\{20\}/bin/python.\{20\}' /usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman r/lib64/mailman/usr/bin/pythonPYTHONPATH=PYTHONH ohnopublishing portage # file /usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman /usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped /me attempts to get his unimportant ML back up... no time for patches :-(

I think I shall await a plan of attack from you in irc; this looks kind of, hard
