Currently available dev-libs/glib only supports up to python 3.11. I've ran the tests with python 3.12 and everything works. Just changing thte PYTHON_COMPAT variable to include python3_12 is enough. Reproducible: Always
Not claiming it doesn't work anyways, but the references upstream merge request says it's going to be in glib-2.79 (which will be glib-2.80 once out of alpha/beta), but you are requesting for 2.78.x and in 2.78.3 it still imports distutils.version
What would need testing is the running of gdbus-codegen, which might testing with a package that BDEPENDs on it, not glib package tests themselves, though gdbus-codegen ebuild does claim: einfo "Skipping tests. This package is tested by dev-libs/glib" einfo "when merged with FEATURES=test" but I'm not sure how true that is. Anyhow, the upstream merge request improving things for 3.12, but not being included in our versions yet, makes me weary of just adding the COMPAT without more research. Feel free to ehlp with said research.
Interesting. I have successfully merged =dev-libs/glib-2.78.3 with python3_12 in PYTHON_COMPAT and FEATURE=test. If it needs further testing, I have definitely not tried that. But sure, if upstream says it does not yet work with python3.12, I can not really argue with that. I did not look through the upstream issue tracker when raising this bug.
Update: I have tried emerging, with FEATURE=test, dev-libs/glib, dev-util/gdbus-codegen and x11-libs/gtk+ glib ebuild was changed to allow python3.12. gtk+ was chosen because it has gdbus-codegen in BDEPEND. All of that passed all tests and installed fine. Looking at the glib pull request, the only python file that was importing distutils does not actually get installed, at least on my system. All that said, I can always maintain my own ebuild for a while longer, until the new version of glib, with the switch to python-packaging, arrives in gentoo. So feel free to close this bug report if you want.

The questionable part is dev-util/gdbus-codegen and its PYTHON_COMPAT. But that apparently already has python3.12 in PYTHON_COMPAT. CCing who added it for clarification (I'm not saying it's wrong, just maybe they know all the background already without us having to re-research it)
Going to add the PYTHON_COMPAT to a bump and following up checking into the other split packages (that seem to have upstream fixes for 3.12 support, yet have PYTHON_COMPAT already) into a local TODO, as there seems to be no real issues reported from that so far
