Hello all,

~    Now that this topic was brought to light, I would like to add 
another point...

~    I'm not sure if this has been worked out, or I just don't know how 
it is done, but a lot of python packages
~    need to check use flags for dev-lang/python, like tk or threads for 
example. Now this is tricky considering the slotting of
~    the interpreter. Let me give you an example:

~    Suppose I have both python-2.5 and python-2.6 installed. python-2.5 
was installed with tk use flag enabled but python-2.6 has it disabled.
~    When some package tries to check for foo? ( dev-lang/python[tk] ) 
it will merge nicely because the use dep restriction is achieved with 
python-2.5, even
~    if python-2.6 is the selected interpreter and it misses the tk use 
flag. Is there a way to workaround this? am I missing something? or is 
just something else
~    to take into account for next eapi?


~    Thanks a lot,

~    Best regards,

~    Jesus Rivero (Neurogeek)
