scarabeus, should we just change '>=dev-lang/python-2.6' to '>=dev-lang/python-2.7' or you will change patch?
Just provide patches guys.
+ 27 Sep 2012; Sebastian Pipping <sping@gentoo.org> + mplayer2-2.0_p20120828.ebuild, mplayer2-9999.ebuild: + Require python 2.7, not just 2.6 (bug #434356) + To go a little futher, something like python_set_active_version 2.7 || python_set_active_version 3 would be needed in the ebuild. Due to the internal call to die() inside, the former would need a subshell as in ( python_set_active_version 2.7 ) || python_set_active_version 3 though that may still produces ugly messages and may well be considered a dirty workaround.
(In reply to comment #3) I would do something like this: major=$(python_get_version --major) minor=$(python_get_version --minor) [[ $major >= 3 || $minor >= 7 ]] || die "Please eselect at least python2.7"
