12 An alternative would be insert some logic in the python eclasses to
13 parse PYTHON_REQ_USE, and generate different dependencies for pypy-bin
14 versus the rest of the python implementations. Or maybe redesign the
15 way we handle that entirely.

17 In any case, pypy-bin was added to the tree without any thought as to
18 how to implement the eclass changes, so I have removed it and reverted
19 the changes to package.use.force.
