Hi,

I do need python2.7 since I do need media-gfx/gimp.

Unfortunately, I have masked dev-python/setuptools version >= 47.0.0

Now I cannot emerge dev-python/setuptools-46.4.0-r1 since this needs
dev-python/pbr which in turn cannot be installed without setuptools  
for Python2.7.


How can I get out of this dilemma?



I have been lucky.
dev-python/pbr is a pure Python package. I've just copied from
/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pbr
to
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pbr
and removed all __pycache__ folders

  Interesting.  Does it lose any functionality?  Speaking of which,  
why would you build GIMP with "alsa" and "udev".


If you're asking me,  I have not found any missing functionality, but I  
don't use gimp often, so it's possible.  I have no explicit mention of  
gimp in /etc/portage, so those are apparently just the accumulation of  
various settings in make.conf on top of the gimp defaults.  Those two  
in particular are global USE flags, so I suppose you would have to read  
the ebuild to see what effect they have on the build.

gimp can use python2_7 but it does not require it.  I have gimp  
installed with the following USE flags (per eix)


alsa jpeg2k mng udev -aalib -aqua -debug -doc -gnome -heif -openexr  
-postscript -python -test -unwind -vector-icons -webp -wmf -xpm
