The current python.eclass is too horribly complicated, and should go the way of the dodo ASAP; while on the other hand python-distutils-ng is too limited (e.g. for non-distutils multiple-implementation python needing packages) and oddly named. I fully support this attempt to improve the current situation, and as I understand so does most of our python team. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
