Hmm, what's the problem with compiling them? Do you mean some case when
the results of the compilation are different from the way done
by the eclass?

Depends on what you need. To be honest, I haven't added any code for
custom script handling yet, just the usual distutils case.

A package which does not explicitly support multiple Python
implementations is a completely different things, needing more
discussion first and which actually may be handled through a separate
eclass if most code of python-r1 proves useless for it.
