 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: 

 Calculating dependencies... done! 
 [ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/file-5.12-r1  USE="zlib -python -static-libs" 0 kB 
 [ebuild   R    ] sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.19  USE="nls zlib -build -python -static-libs" 0 kB

 [ebuild   R    ] net-analyzer/rrdtool-1.4.7-r1  USE="tcpd -dbi -doc -lua -perl -python -rrdcgi -ruby -tcl" 0 kB 

 Total: 7 packages (7 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB

What do these packages have in common? They were all built with "USE=-python"

Look at the actual files in the packages. For example:

$ qlist sys-apps/file 
 /usr/bin/file 
 /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc 
 /usr/share/man/man1/file.1.bz2 
 /usr/share/man/man3/libmagic.3.bz2 
 /usr/share/man/man4/magic.4.bz2 
 /usr/share/doc/file-5.11/MAINT.bz2 
 /usr/share/doc/file-5.11/README.bz2 
 /usr/share/doc/file-5.11/ChangeLog.bz2 
 /usr/include/magic.h 
 /usr/lib64/libmagic.so.1 
 /usr/lib64/libmagic.so.1.0.0 
 /usr/lib64/libmagic.so

I don't see anything here remotely related to python, and certainly can't understand any python-related reason for rebuilding this.
