[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/3] python-utils-r1.eclass: Allow -2/-3 as impl-patterns for py2/py3

[Michał Górny]

Allow two special values in the implementation patterns for
_python_impl_matches(): -2 to indicate all Python 2-compatible
implementations, and -3 to indicate all Python 3-compatible
implementations. Both of those values are implemented using
the python_is_python3 function.

This is mostly meant to make it easier and more fool-proof to write
dependencies on backports to Python 2 which in most cases apply to PyPy2
as well.
