Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

dev-python/pygobject-2.20.0 states:

SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS="1"
...
RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="3.*"

However, its syntax is not valid in Python 2.4:

$ python2.4 /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/girepository/btypes.py
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/girepository/btypes.py", line 24
    from . import repo
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Should we also RESTRICT 2.4 then?
