Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-11 02:09:41 UTC 
The flag doesn't do anything useful at all...

<snip>
use python && export PYTHON=1
unset PYTHON
</snip>

# export PYTHON=1; echo PYTHON=$PYTHON; unset PYTHON; echo PYTHON=$PYTHON
PYTHON=1
PYTHON=

What are you after there?
Comment 1 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-11 06:17:57 UTC 
python support at the c level is not ready for portage-utils due to a defunct 
build system in python.o which leads to textrels on hardened.

expect to see the use flag but it doing nothing for several releases.
Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-11 06:18:42 UTC 
the code there is just a placeholder FYI

app-portage/portage-utils fixed ebuild

I really fail to see how is this bug invalid; anyway in case you ever decide to commit an ebuild that does not violate QA in multiple places (duff IUSE, creating orphaned files and dirs in pkg_postinst() etc.), here's one attached.
