Description Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-06 20:42:24 UTC 
The variable RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS appears to be part of the public API of the eclass, but it isn't currently documented.
Comment 1 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-06 20:46:00 UTC 
Look at this guide
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
Comment 2 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-06 20:59:02 UTC 
Things like RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS are not documented in the man page.

Yep, that's what I originally intended, sorry for being too vague.

Btw, the python guide is really nice, you could put a link to it in eclass's @DESCRIPTION, so that it appears in the generated man page.

python.eclass is deprecated. Closing as obsolete.
