gnome-tweak-tool needs Python >= 2.6 to configure and will fail if the user have 2.5 in USE_PYTHON. Adding 2.5 to RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS solves the issue.

I thought the PYTHON_DEPEND would be enough to prevent configure with old slots. For now, I added the 2.4 and 2.5 slots to the restricted list. Thanks for reporting.
