Description Julian Ospald 2013-07-20 08:49:22 UTC

In many cases there is an ebuild which has optional python support and all function calls and dependencies depend on a useflag such as "python".

However, the user will still have to enable PYTHON_TARGETS. That
a) does not make sense
b) complicates obscure setups with USE="-*"

Comment 1 Julian Ospald 2013-07-20 08:59:27 UTC

it seems this is caused by incorrect eclass usage and not by the eclass design
