There are two other package managers that can be used on gentoo |
| 9 |
systems that I know of. pkgcore and paludis. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
However, they are supported by their developers, and, the last time I |
| 12 |
looked, gentoo's documentation still only supports portage. |

In that sense, portage is still gentoo's _official_ package manager, |
| 15 |
but there are alternatives if you don't want to use portage. So, |
| 16 |
python actually is not required if you use paludis. I believe pkgcore, |
| 17 |
however, requires it. |
