I received this same error today when trying to update x11-libs/xpyb-1.3.1 to x11-libs/xpyb-1.3.1-r1. I was able to complete the emerge by setting the PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7", for both x11-libs/xpyb-1.3.1-r1 and x11-proto/xcb-proto-1.8-r1.

Thanks..

Unable to reproduce. Presumably whatever the problem was is long since fixed.

Ah, I see. This was caused by python3, and xpyb mistakenly lost python3 support due a mistake in fixing bug 470902.

(I hit the same thing when trying to add python3 support back...)

If you want to pursue it, then I suggest upstreaming a patch switching to standard autotools Python macros instead of that custom broken stuff.
