I was installing =media-libs/aubio-0.3.2-r1 as a dependency of =media-sound/ardour-2.8.12, when i got these errors: >>> Installing (1 of 1) media-libs/aubio-0.3.2-r1 * Compilation and optimization of Python modules for CPython 2.7 ... [ !! ] * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/bench/onset.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/bench/onset.py', 114, 36, "ttd.append(Gnuplot.Data(fp, gd, with='linespoints', n")) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/gnuplot.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/gnuplot.py', 158, 30, " return Gnuplot.Data(x,y,with='lines')n")) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/plot/keyboard.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/plot/keyboard.py', 33, 51, " whites = Gnuplot.Data(xw,yw,xwdelta,ywdelta,with = 'boxxyerrorbars')n")) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/beat.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/beat.py', 250, 41, 'ttoplots.append(Gnuplot.Data(results,with='linespoints',title="auto"))n')) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/notes.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/notes.py', 98, 42, "ttoplots.append(Gnuplot.Data(now,freq,with='lines',n")) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/onset.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/onset.py', 106, 47, "ttoplot.append(Gnuplot.Data(downtime,ofunc,with='lines',title=self.params.onsetmode))n")) * * Compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/pitch.py ... * SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/aubio/task/pitch.py', 159, 44, "ttoplots.append(Gnuplot.Data(time,pitch,with='lines',n")) The emerge goes fine, and the ebuild is marked as merged, but I'm unsure whether this can lead to further problems. The error is caused by the "with" keyword argument passed to Gnuplot.Data constructor. In Python <2.7 "with" was not a reserved keyword, while it is in 2.7 (I'm using 2.7.3). I found the same problem in media-plugins/gst-plugins-jack (and it can possibly affect every python module using gnuplot)
This seems to be fixed in upstream version 0.3.3 - see http://dev.aubio.org/ticket/13.
