Arch Linux

I'm trying to build qt5-webengine via makepkg, however the build fails after a while with the following python exception:

[2531/10084] RULE Generating C++ code from ax_enums.idl IDL files

I've talked to upstream about this in their IRC channel, and they've not seen this happen so far:

17:44 <@bbandix> The-Compiler: never seen that, what is your python version?
17:46 <The-Compiler> bbandix: I'm on Archlinux, so /usr/bin/python is 3.4.3 by default, but while packaging a folder with python as 2.7.9 gets inserted at the beginning of $PATH.
17:47 <@bbandix> The-Compiler: yeah, python 3 is not supported by chromium
17:47 <@bbandix> The-Compiler: not sure why you see this, I also use arch, and it compiles fine for me
17:50 <The-Compiler> bbandix: it seems like it actually *is* using python2.7, see /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ply/yacc.py
17:50 <The-Compiler> and it used to work for me as well last time I built it
17:52 <@bbandix> yeah saw that, was just interested in the x in 2.7.x, but already qmake should fail if python is not right, so this is probably not a version issue
17:57 <The-Compiler> It's a custom PKGBUILD with minimal changes (see https://github.com/The-Compiler/qt-debug-pkgbuild/compare/symbols ) - though to be sure I can try building the default Arch one
18:01 <@mibrunin> The-Compiler: and that is with 5.4.1?
18:01 <The-Compiler> mibrunin: yep
18:01 <The-Compiler> qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1.tar.xz
18:01 <@mibrunin> The-Compiler: ah, okay - strange
18:02 <@mibrunin> The-Compiler: we changed something in the python idl generator scripts, but that was after 5.4.1
18:14 <The-Compiler> mibrunin: is this something which would be likely to be affected by builds with vs. without debug symbols?
18:14 <@mibrunin> The-Compiler: I don't think so
18:15 <@mibrunin> The-Compiler: at least, haven't seen a python error that was specific to debug or release so far
18:15 <The-Compiler> Yeah, that's what I thought too... I'll still try with the default one, and if it's there too I guess the best thing would be to open an Archlinux bug

I remember having built -3 successfully in the past, but now I can't anymore (also deleted everything and rebuilt), so no idea how it broke...
