[gentoo-portage-dev] using python in installation scripts

[Amit Dor-Shifer]

I want to read/write an XML file while an ebuild executes. Since I'm 
unaware of any XML support in bash, I'm thinking of using python: I'd 
write some python code and bundle it somehow into the package, so that 
is shall be usable from pkg_XXX scripts.

I browsed the tree and couldn't find other ebuilds that use python (nor 
perl, for that matter),  so I'm doing a sanity check: is this a wrong 
path to follow? Appreciate comments. 10x.
