dev-python/PyQt depends on dev-python/sip, which doesn't compile against Python 2.5. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/PyQt-3.14.1-r1/work/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.14.1 ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "configure.py", line 31, in <module> import sipconfig ImportError: No module named sipconfig make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. !!! ERROR: dev-python/PyQt-3.14.1-r1 failed.
I really miss the point in filing bugs about this. If you don't install the dependency, it won't compile. Why do we need bug about it?

OK. I wasn't sure about the policy for these things. Mainly I was filing it so that the Python 2.5 tracker metabug would have a record of the issue.
i think the idea is don't get carried away. if it is dev-python/sip that breaks, then the bug for that package, we don't need to know about what packages depend on dev-python/sip. but thanks for leting us know.
