In /usr/portage/eclass/python.eclass ;-)

To be honest, I wanted that feature so badly that I dug through
python.eclass as soon as I saw arfrever mention it. From the code, it
seemed to make sense that USE_PYTHON should be added to make.conf, and
indeed it works. But I may have misunderstood completely and the
"feature" could be removed or modified at any time.

So it's probably a good idea to stay away from it until it has been
documented properly.
