Did you CC gentoo-dev? I cannot find the tread. |

I meant that not all tree ebuilds use the same python-eclass |
| 45 |
implementation which IS a problem. Adding another implementation does |
| 46 |
not really improve that situation. |

As I said, I think the python herd already did a list on this. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Btw. could you give exact examples on how to convert widely used |
| 55 |
python ebuilds with your eclasses? |
| 56 |
E.g. dev-python/pygobject dev-python/setuptools or dev-libs/boost? |
| 57 |
How can I convert shebangs consistently and recursively? |
