eselect python set 1 setting python2 successfully compiles recoll. Otherwise - using python-3.2.3-r1 as default python compiling recoll fails with an error message of setup.py I tried all possible USE flags before I remembered this was the case before with recoll-1.16 also .... Missing a python shebang in the build somewhere?
A build.log and emerge --info is needed please

Created attachment 322591 [details] emerge --info
Above attachments document the failings using python3
It should be ok now. Thanks for reporting
