[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 4/7] python-r1.eclass: Support python_check_deps() in python_setup

[Michał Górny]

Provide an alternate mode for python_setup() that behaves similarly to
python-any-r1 eclass. If python_check_deps() function is declared
by the ebuild, the python_setup logic switches to accepting any
implementation that is in PYTHON_COMPAT, installed and satisfies
python_check_deps() independently of USE flags.

This new logic makes it possible to replace some of the existing
REQUIRED_USE constraints for build-time dependencies with more friendly
any-of dependencies. For example, if a package supports both Python 2 &
Python 3 but has a purely Python 2 build-time dependency (e.g. for
building documentation) we had to force Python 2 being enabled via
REQUIRED_USE. Using python_check_deps() with appropriate any-of
dependency, we can use Python 2 for this task without actually forcing
the user to change USE flags or install the package for Python 2.

+# In this case, an implementation is considered suitable if it is

+# at least one of the patterns passed (or '*' if no patterns passed).
+#
+# Implementation restrictions in the pure mode need to be accompanied

+# fail at build time due to unsatisfied dependencies.

+# The any-of dep mode is used if python_check_deps() is declared.
+# In this mode, an implementation is considered suitable if it is
+# supported, matches at least one of the patterns and python_check_deps()
