That is NOT the link I sent!  Someone's email is messing with links!

Why would something called "secure-web" be doing non-secure things???

I'm not sure whose email did that, but not mine...

I think it is a 'Practical Python Porting' bug.  The python
man page, cited earlier, says that what that code does is not
always going to work.

For me 3.6.6 works, but not 3.6.5.  But it may be something else
as one is Gentoo Stable, and the other is Gentoo Unstable.

I just flipped between different Pythons until it works/fails.

Here is my script:

./waf clean
./waf configure --refclock=all --enable-doc && \
./waf build  && \
./waf install
