For several years, Gentoo has been patching python3 in a way that is |
| 18 |
incompatible with PEP 3149 [1]. Gentoo has been enabling the PyMalloc feature, |
| 19 |
but our python packages have not carried the appropriate ABI flag. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
We have removed this patch from the most recent dev-lang/python ebuilds at |
| 22 |
the time of this writing. One result of this is that any packages which |
| 23 |
install python extension modules must be rebuilt. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
You should rebuild affected packages using the following command. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge -1v $(find /usr/lib*/python3* -name '*cpython-3[3-5].so') |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
You may experience build failures in related packages until this has been |
| 30 |
completed. |
