Hi; |

Having emerge use a staticly linked python makes naive |
| 19 |
sense to me. You can end up with a dynamic python linked against |
| 20 |
X and tcl-tk, which I believe bit some poor fellow after he |
| 21 |
unmerged X, and his python (and thus portage) broke... |
| 22 |
(I believe this is true; my python isnt, but seeing |
| 23 |
the persons post and examining the ebuild, and a tk enabled |
| 24 |
python on another system, it seems so.) |
