Portage is written in Python, which raises the question of why you didn't |
| 8 |
have python:2 installed in the first place. The samba ebuild doesn't |
| 9 |
include a dependency on python, so you'll need to do and emerge -t to see |
| 10 |
which packages do pull it in, but I suspect it is required by an eclass |
| 11 |
inherited by one of the ebuilds. |

If so, Samba itself does not need Python to do it's job, but portage |
| 14 |
needs Python in order to install Samba. that would make it a build |
| 15 |
dependency which could be uninstalled after Samba was merged, but I'd be |
| 16 |
nervous about removing Python from any Gentoo system that uses portage. |
