There are no hal python bindings; you probably mean dbus.

Created attachment 97101 [details, diff]
hal-device-manager-built_with_use-hal-python.patch

Ebuild patch.

I can verify that the proposed patch for hal-device-manager-0.5-r1 does allow the hal-device-manager to install and as far as I can tell the program appears to function properly.

Rob: All it does is create a symlink to where hal installs the Python script. This ebuild is only there so we don't have a depend on X in HAL.

Commited your patch Ed.
