I got a similar error -- I have a strange idea  about this -- see if
you have any instances ofthread.isAlive( in portage or anywhere else
in your python3.9 -- if you do you need to change them to
thread.is_alive( ... python changed the name and I don't think some
people got the message -- apparently it has been depricated for quite
a while now.

Just a wild guess.
