setuptools is in python, but not recognized

[Bili Oslavi]

Probably I'm missing something obvious, but ...

pip list:
setuptools 69.2.0

eselect python list
[1] python3.12
[2] python3.11 (fallback)
[3] python3.10 (fallback)

emerge sys-libs/libapparmor-3.1.4 (for docker)

checking for the setuptools Python package... no
configure: error: cannot import Python module "setuptools".
Please check your Python installation. The error was:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Did you install setuptools with pip?

I installed setuptools with emerge first, got the error, then tried pip. But I think you're right -
it's installing setuptools into python3_12 and the package requires it in python3_11:

emerge --pretend --verbose dev-python/setuptools sys-libs/libapparmor

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

eselected python 3.11 and emerged sys-libs/libapparmor. Works fine now.

Thanks!

This seems like a package bug, in my opinion. Your PYTHON_TARGETS were compatible for the two packages, which is what Portage checked before starting. However, the package apparently tried to use the system's eselect'd python instead of using the python chosen by PYTHON_TARGETS.
