Hrm, I forgot about this problem since I compiled sys-devel/python on a system |
| 9 |
without tcl-tk or X. |

I know this may sound weird at first, but I'd rather disable X11 and tcl/tk |
| 26 |
support in sys-devel/python, and create a *third* python optional package -- |
| 27 |
python-x11. I don't want to force people to install Xfree86 and tcl/tk just |
| 28 |
so they can get a reasonably complete python implementation. This kind of |
| 29 |
thing would be a pain for people who are setting up a server without X at all, |
| 30 |
but need a complete python to run their scripts. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Or, we can simply tell people that if you want X and tcl-tk support in your |
| 33 |
python, just remerge sys-devel/python after you have X and tcl-tk installed. |
| 34 |
the python configure program will detect that they're there, and link against |
| 35 |
the new libraries. Of course, then we need a transparent method for you so |
| 36 |
that when you're building packages, your sys-devel/python isn't linked against |
| 37 |
X and tcl-tk stuff and will work on a base system. |
