All the problems above are related to python byte code, and the way it |
| 2 |
is handled in gentoo. It would be to exhaustive to explain the |
| 3 |
problems here but maybe this bug [1] helps to understand the problem. |
| 4 |
Also if you want to learn more about python in gentoo you can read |
| 5 |
this [2]. |

In the case of scons and docbook the problem is the same as mentoned |
| 8 |
in the bug where python bytecode is installed into the wrong |
| 9 |
filesystem location. |

|
| 11 |
Other problems can occur when the python eclasses which handle the |
| 12 |
python byte code are not used at all or improperly used with python |
| 13 |
applications. For instance when python byte code is not handled by the |
| 14 |
eclasses the py{c,o} files are created at runtime when using the |
| 15 |
program as root. At deinstallation this files are not removed from the |
| 16 |
filesystem because the package manager is not aware of them. |
