Error(s) that match a know pattern: meson.build:152:31: ERROR: <PythonExternalProgram 'python3' -> ['/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/weston-12.0.2/temp/python3.12/bin/python3']> is not a valid python or it is missing distutils Run-time dependency lcms2 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

not a duplicate. I can reproduce at: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/286a7c3cf202ae0f130d0996a84ee224f1c3dfc3
Hmm that's odd. Presumably /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/weston-12.0.2/temp/python3.12/bin/python3 actually exists because it is created unconditionally by python-utils-r1.eclass and I don't think Meson would mention it otherwise. What does it contain? It's supposed to look like: #!/bin/sh exec "/usr/bin/python3.12" "${@}"

It's > supposed to look like: > > #!/bin/sh > exec "/usr/bin/python3.12" "${@}" The content of the file is the same, however, after the build fails I can reproduce the issue outside portage with: ~ $ /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/weston-12.0.2/temp/python3.12/bin/python3 -c "import distutils" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' After digging into it a bit deply I discovered that: ~ $ qlist -e python:3.11 | grep distutils | wc -l 373 ~ $ qlist -e python:3.12 | grep distutils | wc -l 0 So the python3.12 installation is somehow broken? It does not contain anything related to distutils.

Thanks. I forget that python_check_deps is still needed even in simple cases. ago, distutils was dropped from Python 3.12 so what you saw is expected. Meson needs to address this so that setuptools is no longer needed as a workaround.
