sys-boot/woeusb-ng GUI does not work after emerge. ERROR = "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wx'". Only work after emerge dev-python/wxpython.
That's already described as an optfeature. You should see a message telling you to install dev-python/wxpython:4.0 if you want GUI support. * Install additional packages for optional runtime features: * dev-python/wxpython:4.0 for GUI support * sys-boot/grub[grub_platforms_pc] for Legacy PC bootmode support
Would it make sense to add a "gui" USE flag to optionally require wxpython?
I don't think so. We generally don't use USE flags to control optional runtime dependencies. Either add it as an optfeature or make it a mandatory dependency for everyone (and the committer chose the former). We can make it a non-optional dependency if users prefer.
Perhaps it's just terminology, but yes, I would prefet it be called an optfeature controlled by a USE flag. For me, that better tracks why it's installed, so if I uninstall woeusb then wxpython can get depcleaned. I would guess then it would be an RDEPEND, as I understand things. Perhaps this bug can be changed to a wishlist to do that? I guess that is up to the OP and whoever is supporting the package.
