The current python.eclass is too horribly complicated, and should go |
22 |
the way of the dodo ASAP; while on the other hand python-distutils-ng |
23 |
is too limited (e.g. for non-distutils multiple-implementation python |
24 |
needing packages) and oddly named. |

I fully support this attempt to improve the current situation, and as |
27 |
I understand so does most of our python team. |
