python-config is not part of the python distribution -- it is a gentoo |
| 6 |
creation. It could probably be made to pick up the correct python |
| 7 |
version automatically, just like it picks up the libs. |

At some point, both python 2.1 and python 2.2 ebuilds should be updated |
| 10 |
to take into account that they don't need to modify Setup much at all |
| 11 |
anymore. Since 2.1, python has been using configure to discover things |
| 12 |
instead of relying on changes to the Setup file. I think that this |
| 13 |
means our current 2.1 and 2.2 ebuilds *look* like they are taking USE |
| 14 |
vars into account, but in fact do not have those settings reflected in |
| 15 |
the python that gets built. |

I started on a python 2.2 ebuild a while ago, but didn't get far enough |
| 18 |
to submit. :-/ Thanks for getting the good work done, g2boojum. |
