ebuild contains pkg_setup() { # need python threads (see bug #224269) if ! built_with_use dev-lang/python threads; then die "hippodraw needs dev-lang/python with USE=\"threads\"" fi } ... the treads are on by default in python 2.5, disabled by 'nothreads' flag (unlike 2.4 where treads were off and had to be enabled by using 'threads' use flag) Reproducible: Always
All current python ebuilds have changed to 'threads'. Please, sync and upgrade your Python.
