re-assigned to python team, left untouched for 3 months.
Please review and commit if good
Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2011-11-07 14:26:10 UTC
Use PYTHON_DEPEND and PYTHON_USE_WITH (depending on EAPI).

Example for EAPI="3":
PYTHON_DEPEND="2"
PYTHON_USE_WITH="threads"

Example for EAPI="4-python":
PYTHON_DEPEND="<<2[threads]>>"
Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-12-08 06:11:06 UTC
Packaged masked for removal due to dead upstream. Upstream recommends virtualbricks which is requested in bug #409869, so if you're interested in seeing that package enter Gentoo please make your voice heard there.

We won't be fixing this package.
