This package still uses the legacy eclass code paths. These paths are deprecated and pose a significant maintenance cost. Please update the package to use PEP517 build mode. For more information, please see the Python Guide, particularly; https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/migration.html#migrating-to-pep-517-builds
FWICS this one doesn't have tests and only revdep (gcp). Soap's going to check if we can replace it with progressbar2 there.
In any case, this doesn't look like something we want to keep in ::gentoo. Either gcp is migrated to a properly maintained library (tqdm, ideally, we don't really need more NIH packages) or we'll probably remove it.
[Adding this comment en-masse, sorry for the noise, but it's important.) 1. Please take particular care to check file diffs before/after, possibly using `iwdevtools`. Keep a particular eye out for e.g. config files now missing from /etc and instead being in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages, etc. 2. Please make sure to do the migration in a new revision in ~arch, partly because of 1.
