Is this really true?  How is this done?  I've just started learning
Python this week although I've been hacking C, Lisp, and Perl for many
years.

Is the open() builtin somehow overridden in Portage to automatically add
the root value?


Or, do you just mean that somewhere _else_ in the code it creates the
root+"/var/cache/edb/world" file?  If so then I do know about that...
