Created attachment 396166 [details, diff] diff -u between current and a would be -r1 In pursuit of upgrading python eclasses this package came up in a list requiring upgrade. The ebuild currently doesn't inherit a python eclass at all however it qualifies to do so. The patch included here covers basic content required and passes by use of # portageq metadata / ebuild app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-4.3.20.96996-r1::gentoo remembering I made an -r1 for the purpose. The revbump will also require attention to the following code. local pyslot for pyslot in 2.7 ; do if has_version "dev-lang/python:${pyslot}" && [ -f "${S}/VBoxPython${pyslot/./_}.so" ] ; then doins VBoxPython${pyslot/./_}.so since it will no longer be pertinent.
Feel free to add the revbumps with your suggested changes. Please make sure you don't break python stuff.

I am known for being trying.

While there are numerous old ebuilds, none have old EAPI values nor inherit an olde eclass. This runtests fine with USE=python.
Since installation of Python-related files is conditional on "python" USE flag, this USE flag should be respected in dependencies and REQUIRED_USE: --- virtualbox-bin-4.3.26.98988-r1.ebuild +++ virtualbox-bin-4.3.26.98988-r1.ebuild @@ -77,5 +77,5 @@ x11-libs/libXdmcp - ${PYTHON_DEPS}" + python?
