You've already had a reply about the slotted nature of python, but you |
| 8 |
also need to understand that USE flags are not dependency lists. USE |
| 9 |
flags cover optional features, if a package has an option python module, |
| 10 |
bindings or scripts, a USE flag may determine whether they are installed. |
| 11 |
But if a package needs python2, no amount of fudging with USE flags will |
| 12 |
change that fact. |
