- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml

(In reply to comment #1) Portage itself requires Python >=2.6 and it has no relation to Python version required by other packages. If you install sys-apps/portage with USE="python3", then you will be able to set active version of Python 2 to 2.4 or 2.5 and still use Portage (Portage will use active version of Python 3 regardless of active version of Python 2). PYTHON_DEPEND specifies build-time and run-time dependency on Python, but this package has only build-time dependency on Python.

(In reply to comment #6) PYTHON_DEPEND specifies build-time and run-time dependency on Python, but this package has only build-time dependency on Python.

(In reply to comment #8) This patch doesn't fix problem mentioned in comment #7 and additionally contains a regression (lack of 'python_set_active_version 2'). python_convert_shebangs() is probably not needed. If any Python scripts were installed, then there should be run-time dependency on Python.
