Pylint needs dev-python/logilab-common >= 0.3.4 and dev-python/optik (if Python < 2.3) packages Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge pylint (without logilab-common and optik) 2.run 'pylint' Actual Results: pylint fails when trying to find logilab-common. Expected Results: After pylint failed I emerged logilab-common and optik. Pylint works now. There is one thorny issue because optik is included in Python 2.3. So optik should only be emerged if Python < 2.3.
yeah, it was an oversight when i enthusiastically discovered the joys of pylint .. *ahem* anyway, thats true about optik being in python-2.3, i think another package other than pylint depends on optik as well. but for the mean time it is better than having no deps. we'll fix it when 2.3 becomes unmasked from p.mask thanks for your report.
