If you want it in python it would be faster for you to code that vs me 
sitting in #-portage asking you bash+python hybrid questions.

Honestly I've been re-running the above command via my bashrc in the 
postinst phase for the past few months without any notice.

Where I'm going with the NEEDED in general is I want those resolved to 
the packages that provide the the elfs basenames and save those into
what I'm declaring as RRDEPEND; I use qfile from portage-utils todo 
this on my local development box. The RRDEPEND is more or less 
instant revdep data that revdep-rebuild could use. More than that I'm 
after seeing an option to emerge to select the type of deps use for 
depgraph creation. (python part I'd need help with)
