How reasonable would it be to ban EAPI5 as well? This is a new eclass so
it may be better to just take the time to go to EAPI6 directly and not
have to migrate 5->6 later on.

I dont see where you inherited the python eclasses? You also probably
need to use use_if_iuse (from eutils.eclass) instead since it seems like
python might not be in all the ebuilds. Afaik, you're not allowed to
call use foo if foo is not in IUSE already.

Also I'm not sure if having functions start with python_ could lead to
conflicts later on with the python eclasses?

Other than these minor things, look good!
