Your changes are far too complicated to me. Python eclass and |
| 9 |
consequently writing python ebuilds is a difficult task already. |
| 10 |
If you keep adding more and more "magic" in this eclass, |
| 11 |
you will end up supporting and fixing all the python ebuilds by |
| 12 |
yourself. Maybe you should consider splitting python eclass |
| 13 |
into two separate modules. One for core functionality and |
| 14 |
another one which will inherit this core eclass and export |
| 15 |
a simple API so the rest of us can use python eclass without |
| 16 |
having to study all the documentation for a month. |
