I feel like I'm starting to repeat more and more autotools-related snippets for Python ebuilds. It's time to think about establishing an eclass to handle that. So far, the ideas are: 1. the usual, complete set of python_foreach_impl and python_parallel_foreach_impl calls. 2. for python3, we need to replace 'py-compile' with the one from >=automake-1.12. 3. i would be happy to at least help with the hackery necessary to build python parts of autotools apps for multiple impls. For 2., see dev-python/subunit [1]. For 3., see the suggested new ebuild for media-libs/lcms [2], net-libs/gtk-vnc [3] (this one's terrible since it has also gtk2/gtk3 split), gnome-extra/gnome-packagekit [4].

This doesn't seem feasible for the general benefit.
