[gentoo-user] KDE4 + python3.1 == no system-config-printer-kde ?

["Dmitry S. Makovey" <dimon@makovey.net>]

Hi everybody,

Is it me missing out on something or does KDE4 (namely PyKDE4) is borked
when default python is set to 3.1?


# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.1 *
# eselect python list --python3
Available Python 3 interpreters:
  [1]   python3.1 *
# eselect python list --python2
Available Python 2 interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
# grep python /etc/make.conf
     pygrub python python3 pulseaudio qalculate qt3 qt3support

with all of the above PyKDE4 compiles, however
kde-base/system-config-printer-kde-4.6.3 barfs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindPyKDE4.py", line 8, in <module>
    import PyKDE4.pykdeconfig

with a bit of look-around it seems like pykde4 has:

RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="2.4"

which boils down to (what seems like) pykde4 is built only for 3.1

# epm -ql pykde4 | grep pykdeconfig
/usr/lib64/python3.1/site-packages/PyKDE4/pykdeconfig.py

should I be performing some other waving in the air to make this whole
thing fly? It seems like a bug to me, but I'd rather confirm I'm not
missing something before reporting it.
