+# @ECLASS-VARIABLE: PYTHON_COMPAT_OVERRIDE
+# @INTERNAL
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# This variable can be used when working with ebuilds to override
+# the in-ebuild PYTHON_COMPAT. It is a string naming the implementation
+# which package will be built for. It needs to be specified
+# in the calling environment, and not in ebuilds.
+#
+# It should be noted that in order to preserve metadata immutability,
+# PYTHON_COMPAT_OVERRIDE does not affect IUSE nor dependencies.
+# The state of PYTHON_TARGETS and PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET is ignored,
+# and the implementation in PYTHON_COMPAT_OVERRIDE is built instead.
+# Dependencies need to be satisfied manually.
+#
+# Example:
+# @CODE
+# PYTHON_COMPAT_OVERRIDE='pypy' emerge -1v dev-python/bar
+# @CODE

 # @ECLASS-VARIABLE: PYTHON_REQ_USE
 # @DEFAULT_UNSET
