pyliblzma installs 'lzma' module that is incompatible with the same-named module of Python 3.3+. As a result, it randomly wreaks havoc in programs not written to account for its existence and it will never support Python 3. Besides, it's dead. Please look into the possibility of making this package work with the built-in 'lzma' module of Python 3 and/or dev-python/backports-lzma that uses a separate (safe) namespace and a compatible API.
Ping.
The same solution should be applied to sys-apps/yum as it shares the same issue, luckily the backports-lzma is helpful in this case as you suggested.
In any case these packages will not work with python3, so I do not understand the point.
