Since eselect-python-20090804 /usr/bin/python is a symlink to a wrapper. |

Ebuilds (usually through python.eclass) need to be able to set requested version |
| 21 |
of Python without changing /usr/bin/python symlink. This is performed by setting |
| 22 |
EPYTHON environment variable ("E" in the name of this variable is related to words |
| 23 |
"ebuild" and "eclass"). If this variable isn't set, then Python wrapper uses |
| 24 |
version of Python configured using `eselect python`. Otherwise it uses version of |
| 25 |
Python referenced by this variable. |
