Thing is, there are important and popular Vim plugins (e.g. https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim) which depends on pynvim (https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim#requirements). Installing app-editors/neovim just to get dev-python/pynvim sounds like overkill. Using `pip3 install --user pynvim` doesn't works well because of some issue with greenlet package - this can be worked around by installing dev-python/greenlet before running pip3, but even it this case it's better to have pynvim installed by portage than use pip3. It looks like only thing pynvim needs from app-editors/neovim is it embedded python package - which can be for sure installed independently from neovim itself.
This just bit me as well trying to use fisa-vim-config (https://vim.fisadev.com/) Please remove the neovim dependency in dev-python/pynvim. The one that that DOES break is the tests

Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2020-07-02 19:31:59 +0000 dev-python/pynvim: relax neovim dep pynvim can be used by regular vim plugins without neovim installed. However it does need neovim to run the tests, so ensure it's still present in DEPEND for that case. Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/709370 Signed-off-by: Robin H.
