While hoping to debug some core dumps of xorg-server I had recompiled most of the x11-libs and -drivers with FEATURES=splitdebug and CFLAGS="-DDEBUG -DNDEBUG". While installing some other packages I obtained some debug output from "X11" proving that __init__.py got executed. I think python executes this during import of the modules but why is it imported at all? Is the aim to byte-compile it instead. Please note it happens twice. >>> Emerging (3 of 3) x11-misc/driconf-0.9.1 * driconf-0.9.1.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...

(In reply to comment #0) > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: GtkWarning: could > not open display > warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) This has nothing to do with portage. It's the ebuild or build system doing that.
This is a side effect of intentional upstream behaviour, please see line 58 in setup.py - it tries to confirm Python bindings for GTK+2 are available by importing them. In principle we could patch this section of the setup out, the ebuild already ensures the presence of pygtk - but do we really want to bother? It would be nice to decide one way or another and finally close this bug, though.
