7 # These outdated versions of Python are no longer updated or maintained
8 # properly. Python 2.5 started to become a blocker for Python 3.3.
9 # Python 3.1 has proved to become unfriendly to writing portable code.
10 # PyPy is still experimental and we're in process of bringing 2.1.
11 # The remaining packages are backports of functions that targeted only
12 # the very specific version. The masked packages will be removed
13 # in 30 days. Afterwards, ebuild and eclass support for those
14 # implementations will be removed. Bug #480070.
