The slot 8.0 apparently doesn't require python but 5.7 needs to either be ported to py3 or removed.
ping.
Well, upstream did some work https://github.com/percona/percona-server/commit/41d5569727ab9c2a5bf02e90cece7fe848fbff51 But it's using > import MySQLdb which is from https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-python/mysql-python which isn't Py3 compatible. There seems to be a fork https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python which claims to be Py3 compatible...
The ebuild already has || dep on mysqlclient.
Reping.
