You're missing a BDEPEND on app-eselect/eselect-python.

Also, I really don't like these workarounds.  It takes a lot of effort
to figure out how to break stuff, so people stop doing awful things. 
It's disrespectful to my time when you invent new hacks.  Now I'll have
to figure out how to change eselect-python to break it.
