Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-05-06 14:51:07 UTC 
distutils-r1.eclass modifies the HOME variable. This is forbidden according to PMS.

A possible solution would be to call _distutils-r1_create_setup_cfg from esetup.py, to ensure that ${HOME}/.pydistutils.cfg.

This requires some testing to ensure we don't break stuff that relied on pydistutils.cfg persisting between function calls.

    distutils-r1.eclass: Do not modify the HOME variable
    
    This was only necessary when we ran phases in parallel.
    Also, PMS says this variable should not be modified.
