net-wireless/crda can be successfully built with Python 3 after applying simple patch for script used by build system.
Created attachment 589386 [details, diff] Patch
There is also dependency chain: net-wireless/crda <--(depends on)-- dev-python/m2crypto <--- virtual/python-typing <--- dev-python/typing. All packages in this chain support python3 except dev-python/typing which has PYTHON_COMPAT=(python2_7 pypy). Which is weird. Or do I misunderstand something?
(In reply to Dmitry Grigoriev from comment #2) > Or do I misunderstand something? Yes. virtual/* packages exist only for abstracting dependencies so that given dependency string does not have to be copied to multiple packages and is only specified in given virtual/* package. virtual/python-typing does NOT depend on dev-python/typing with any implementation of Python 3. Python >=3.5 contains typing.py in standard library.
(In reply to Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis from comment #3) Thank you for explanation.
Can confirm the patched ebuild works on a non-python2.7 system
