www-client/firefox-61.0 requires Python 3.5 that is hard masked

[erikr]

Hi,

I am using the 1.2 kit but stumbled onto a problem when building www-client/firefox-61.0;

 0:03.20 checking for Python 3... : python_wrapper_setup: python3 is not supported by python2.7 (PYTHON_COMPAT)
 0:03.20 no
 0:03.20 ERROR: Python 3.5 or newer is required to build. Ensure a `python3.x` executable is in your PATH or define PYTHON3 to point to a Python 3.5 executable.
 0:03.22 *** Fix above errors and then restart with\
 0:03.22                "/usr/bin/gmake -f client.mk build"
 0:03.22 gmake: *** [client.mk:149: configure] Error 1

While Firefox upgrade will have to wait for now I'm curious what to do when it's time to deal with this?

Is Python 3.5 "just" a matter of a python upgrade and a kit-change that I should have done or what? I am not using python myself, it is only there for the system so I am open for changes :)

Funtoo 1.2 release has no effect on python-kit:

python-kit = 3.6-prime enables python-3.6.5-r1

You can unmask dev-lamg/python-3.5.3-r1
(Then you're using the 1.1-prime kits version ?)

Other way is to switch to 1.2-prime ß

8i'm using 1.2-prime ß andq the system seems to run very well ^^

ANyway after upgrade to 1.2-prime ß python-3.5.x will be pruned .... and you will have the 2.7 and 3.6 :)

I am using 1.2 in general but made no change to the python-kits.

Is there an upgrade procedure to be aware of? I am a newbie when it comes to python - besides all kind of hell from gentoo upgrades over the year. Been happy that I didn't need to upgrade for quite a while :)

Quindi potresti passare a:

>
	python-kit                           3.4-prime       prime           
                      active          3.6-prime       prime

Another thing:

I've the same situation of Cardinal (he got ever reason ... in effect the passage from 1.1 to 1.2 doesn't require the upgrade of python-kit"

and this describes that there are not installed python version >= 3.5

i don't now if is utile but my ego.onf is:

python-kit = 3.6-prime

Good work for All _'_

Gentoo have an upgrade guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Python#Version_upgrade. Doesn't seem that hard. Just recall having some trouble with portage failing at some point and then one are on trouble :)

I will try that one. The entire upgrade is in a separate snapshot anyway so I am prepared if it fails.

I will upgrade python 3 to python 3.6.

[Sandro]

The grat jhan got reason ^^

there are more than way to solve :)

[erikr]

Well, I though of Nike and just did it :)

 

It wasn't even than hard (I think). Then I ran into the EAPI=7 problem instead and verified that it's not related to the python upgrade and it isn't. Now I have the upgrade on hold until portage is upgraded.

Words will not express how much I adore the possibility to do upgrades in snapshots along side the live system!
