Created attachment 285545 [details] patch to ebuild If Python3 is the default interpreter singularity-0.30c emerges OK but does not run: $ singularity Traceback (most recent call last): File "singularity.py", line 1, in <module> import code.singularity File "/usr/share/games/singularity/code/singularity.py", line 54 except Exception, reason: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Attached patch to the ebuild fixes this for me. (OK only the games_make_wrapper change is key to this, it also sets a Python dependency and byte-compiles the code).

grief 2 years ago this has been sitting python team, please take it up and change to current python version
2 months, not years. The patch looks mostly correct. PYTHON_DEPEND="2" instead of PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.4" is sufficient since 2.4 is the oldest version available in the tree. python_pkg_setup() should be called after python_set_active_version().
also, games should remain the last item on the inherit line.
So, this bug can be closed then ? Singularity development seems to be inactive since 2010. With the attached patch, this issue is fixed, right ?
