Gah! Thanks so much for the heads up, @scottfurry. Looks like raiagent has three other Python packages encumbered by the same upstream breakage. :weary:

To preserve backward compatibility, devs really should have preserved distutils-r1 as is and just pushed out a new distutils-r2 with these changes. But I don't make the big calls. I just grumble loudly on GitHub about them.

It's time to roll up the greasy codemonkey sleeves on a bitterly chill Friday evening. We're heading back into the slave mines, boys.

Code Monkey (Thank you Jonathan Coulton)

So much "kek, kek, kek." Those 90's-era classic WoW night elf animations. :heart_eyes_cat: :cupid:

It's always the underappreciated secretary at the front desk. Always!

FYI - same happened to dev-python/unpaddedbase64:src_prepare-overlay. You can browse his fix here.

</ahem> What I meant to say is... resolved by e03e308. Interestingly, Portage itself now provides both Snakeviz and Typeguard – so we've locally last-rited both. Tuna and mpremote were both out-of-date – so we've locally bumped both as well as resolving this issue in both.

The future of Gentoo rests in your capable paws, @scottfurry. Thanks so much! I hope you have a delicious Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday. So much turkey. So much stomach. :yum:

Looks like things parsed nicely. \o/ \O/
