sci-chemistry/pymol-1* depend on dev-python/numeric, which is going to be deprecated. However, there is an entry in the ChangeLog, dated 2008-01-18, that says that the app have been ported to numpy, and this is older than both 1.* versions of pymol. Even more, in bug 181653 comment 14 is said that numeric is not used at all in our ebuilds. It was stripped out in 0.99 version, but the dependency appeared again in 1.* versions. I have made an ebuild without numeric dependency of the lastest version, and it works as well as without it, including the test. I've read the code and it seems that numeric/numpy is only used in some pyopengl related stuff, which is not used AFAIK. SO, please remove numeric dependency from pymol or, if is needed, substitute it with numpy, which seems to work with. Reproducible: Always
Thanks for pointing out that the dev-python/numeric dependency made an unnecessary come-back in recent ebuilds. Assigning to maintainers.
done.
