This proposition is intended to solve multiple problems, but Gentoo Python Project especially would like to have it available during transitions to new Python versions (e.g. Python 3.*). Python 3.1 will be added to the tree in the next week. Over 10 Python modules should work with Python 3, but the majority of packages doesn't work yet. We want to provide possibility of installing Python modules into site-packages directories of multiple Python versions (e.g. 2.6 and 3.1). In currently existing EAPIs we *will* support it, but without checking Python ABI dependencies during dependency calculation. -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
