If the global PYTHON_TARGETS does not contain python2_7, installing app-text/pdfshuffler will not require Python 2.7 support in its dev-python/* dependencies, because it does not use PYTHON_USEDEP. If dev-python/PyPDF2 is installed but was not built without Python 2.7 support, app-text/pdfshuffler can be successfully installed, but attempting to launch it fails with the error message "Neither PyPDF2 nor pyPdf found".
Created attachment 536102 [details, diff] update app-text/pdfshuffler to use PYTHON_USEDEP
python2-7 only, last release in 2012 and no maintainer, I'm wondering if this rather isn't treecleaning material.
The upstream doesn't seem completely dead. It appears that development has moved to http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/pdfshuffler/. The code was ported to Python 3 in the last year, though there still hasn't been a new release and the last activity was about ten months ago. There is also a fork which seems to be reasonably active: https://github.com/jeromerobert/pdfarranger. It is available in Jorgicio's overlay: https://github.com/jorgicio/jorgicio-gentoo-overlay/tree/master/app-text/pdfarranger. The only other alternative I've been able to find is pdfslicer (https://github.com/junrrein/pdfslicer), but it seems to be primarily targeting FlatPak for distribution - the only distro I've found that packages it is Arch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pdfslicer.
