Bugzilla Bug 88063

Here the RDEPEND entry of the current gcompris-6.5.ebuild:
RDEPEND="virtual/x11
        >=dev-libs/glib-2.0
        =x11-libs/gtk+-2*
        >=gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.0.2
        >=dev-python/gnome-python-2.0
        media-libs/sdl-mixer
        media-libs/libsdl
        dev-libs/libxml2
        dev-libs/popt
        games-board/gnuchess
        python? ( dev-lang/python )
        editor? (
                >=gnome-base/libgnome-1.96.0
                >=gnome-base/libgnomeui-1.96.0
        )"

It looks like dev-python/gnome-python is mandatory, but why can gcompris then be build without python (see "python? ( dev-lang/python )")?

I looked and tested the gcompris requirements: gnome-python and with it the whole gnome stuff is only needed for the optional editor component, so please let gnome-python depend on the editor use flag like the other gnome parts, too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I have to install a lot of other not directly needed stuff    

Expected Results:  
I only want to install the game and the really needed dependencies

behind the python use flag in gcompris-6.5.3.ebuild

Thanks for the bug report.
