Hi,
In your logs, I saw that python 3.7 is executed.
And you wrote that python 3.6 is selected.
I had many problem with the python transition too. I have no simple
solution. I uninstalled many things for reinstall after.
Maybe try to :
- Unmerge all python and python-setuptools versions
- Verify your package.use files. Run "grep -Ri 'python'
/etc/portage/package.use/" and delete old files.
- Run a "emerge --newuse --update --autounmask-write --deep
--with-bdeps=y @world".

For the past month or so (since the recent Python version changes) I
haven't been able to get a full emerge update to complete.
The main culprit seems to be meson, but only because what looks like
an internal Python module, "setup.py", can't import 'setup' from
'setuptools'
All the remaining failures are either the same error, or dependencies
of packages that get the error.
I have been trying various combinations of which Python version is the
default and which versions are in the "PYTHON_TARGETS" variable, but
nothing seems to change much.
Rebuilding dev-python/setuptools didn't help either.
My google searches for the error message
"cannot import name 'setup' from 'setuptools'"
also haven't turned up anything that seemed relevent to my system
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try before I rebuild my
system from scratch?
The relevant section of the build log in included below, and the full
log is attached.
"eselect python list" tells me tjhat the default should be python3.6
