This package uses some weird shell script wrapper that does not play with python-exec, and which uses any random active Python interpreter to run this package. Which means that on systems that have any other Python version enabled, colout will fail to start (as in ol' good times of python.eclass). Plus, I have no clue why Python team is maintaining this package.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #0) > Plus, I have no clue why Python team is maintaining this package. zx2c4 added it, and then never touched it again. I say we kill it. commit 9c56a1387562d4c3d44b0da2b906ba65e887ba40 Author: Jason Donenfeld <zx2c4@gentoo.org> Date: Thu Jun 6 15:12:57 2013 +0000 Initial revision.
