- 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
Additional problems: - `configure` doesn't fail when --enable-python has been explicitly passed and Python has not been found. - Parsing of Python version is incorrect and snapshots of Python are not found.
media-gfx/graphviz-2.26.3-r2 doesn't support Python 3, so I have fixed detection of Python 2. This package doesn't install any Python scripts. The problems described in comment #1 still need to be fixed.
The following empty directories probably shouldn't be installed: /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python23 /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python24 /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python25 /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python26 The same Python modules are installed in: /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python $(python_get_sitedir) Maybe /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python could be removed.
(In reply to comment #3) > The same Python modules are installed in: > /usr/$(get_libdir)/graphviz/python > $(python_get_sitedir) I hadn't noticed that modules in $(python_get_sitedir) are symlinks.
