Created attachment 179309 [details, diff] new patch with correct sequence of the ebuilds in the diff
The patch in comment 4 is incomplete, see python-2.5.4-r1.ebuild, lines 284 to 286. It seems that most lines were accidentally wrapped after 80 characters.

However, the change for SRC_URI is not necessary HOMEPAGE="http://www.python.org/" -SRC_URI="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/${PV}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2 - mirror://gentoo/python-gentoo-patches-${PV}.tar.bz2" +SRC_URI="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/${PV}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2 mirror://gentoo/python-gentoo-patches-${PV}.tar.bz2" Marking my incomplete patch as obsolete
Okay, good to know. the SRC_URI was the only questionable one.
Hello, Thanks guys for finding this out. Now the -r2 is in CVS with the changes applied. Best regards,
