The current sys-block/fio package uses the `gnuplot` USE flag to control including python packages as dependencies: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-block/fio/fio-3.16.ebuild It accomplishes this by checking if the `gnuplot` USE flag is set, and then removing installed python files if it is not. However, there are other python files installed as a result of calling emake that are not related to gnuplot: /usr/bin/fiologparser_hist.py /usr/bin/fiologparser.py /usr/bin/fio_jsonplus_clat2csv I propose adding a new USE flag to this package, `python`, that would control if any python files are included. Then the `gnuplot` USE flag would only control if the gnuplot specific tools. The `gnuplot` USE flag would have to have a REQUIRED_USE flag of `python`.
