The games-board/pysol-4.82 ebuild fails if Python 2.4 is installed.  This is a
packaging problem, not an actual compatibility problem; if one installs PySol
from source it works fine with 2.4.

"emerge pysol" works fine, but then:

$ pysol
/usr/bin/pysol: could not find the file 'pysol_24.pyc' !

The problem is that it installs only .pyc files (which are not portable across
Python versions) instead of .py files.  And no .pyc file for 2.4 is installed:

$ qpkg -l -nc pysol |grep "\.py"
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_15.pyc
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_16.pyc
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_20.pyc
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_21.pyc
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_22.pyc
/usr/share/pysol/4.82/pysol_23.pyc

This is a classic binaries-are-brittle problem.  IMO the ebuild should
distribute the .py files and build the .pyc files dynamically on install, as is
done with other Python ebuilds, and 99% of other Gentoo ebuilds.

a workaround is to unpack somewhere pysol-4.82-src.tar.bz2 and to run:
python <somewhere>/pysol-4.82/src/pysol.py if you want like me play absolutly a
bit ;)
pysol must be merged ;)

Confirm that it now installs correctly.  But I had permission problems that
prevented non-root users in the games group from playing.  

A manual "chgrp -R games /usr/games/lib/pysol" fixed the problem -- some files
had group permissions, but the group was "root" rather than "games".

Once I did that, it was playable with Python 2.4.1.  Thanks.
