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.
