Bug 232282 – app-portage/layman-1.1.1 does not handle python modules

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Pielmeier 2008-07-19 02:13:53 UTC]

The ebuild does not auto-create and remove python modules.

If this is the case the modules are created by the first time when layman runs as root. When layman is uninstalled the python modules remain on the system as they are not under the control of the package manager.

According to [1] this should happen automatically if you use distutils and the package installs the .py files under site-packages, but it does not do this here.
