While emerging jack-3.1.1 this error is outpput (It proceeds with install though. I think the cause is that "with" is a pythin keyword. (proposed fix in the end)


>>> Installing (1 of 1) media-sound/jack-3.1.1
 * Compilation and optimization of Python modules for CPython 2.7 ...    [ !! ]
 *     SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/jack_functions.py', 222, 25, 'def starts_with(str, with):n'))

 * Messages for package media-sound/jack-3.1.1:

 * Syntax errors / warnings in Python modules for CPython 2.7:
 *     SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/jack_functions.py', 222, 25, 'def starts_with(str, with):n'))


Possible fix:
Replace "with" with "_with" at  
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/jack_functions.py line 222

def starts_with(str, _with):
    "checks whether str starts with with"
    return str[0:len(_with)] == _with
