A couple suggestions. * Remove >=dev-lang/python-1.5.2 from the DEPEND. It already has virtual/python. * RDEPEND="". RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" would probably be better, because it uses python ans mysql to execute I think.

kutsuya, i've fixed this for mysql-python now. i see you've done it for mysql-python-py21 already :)
