[Comment 1 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) 2011-12-10 17:47:35 UTC]

Thanks for the report.  2.5 is not supported anymore. Upstream claims that it should work with USE="-ssl", but I guess that's just outdated by a bump of imaplib.  I restricted the python version.

+  10 Dec 2011; Thomas Kahle <[e-mail]> offlineimap-6.4.2.ebuild:
+  Restrict to >=python-2.6

Unfortunately, setting PYTHON_DEPEND doesn't control which versions the package will be built with, only the versions that satisfy the dependency.  You also need to add 2.5 to RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS.  Yes, this is dumb.

This should probably be closed no?
