Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] PYTHON_DEPEND - Suggested replacement for NEED_PYTHON
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:55:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B4AA116.9040005@gentoo.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201001102250.45410.Arfrever@gentoo.org>

>>>   PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.5:2.6"
>>>     Dependency on Python 2.6 or 2.5.

The colon (':') has two different semantics here.
This violates "different things should look different".

You are designing a language here.  Please improve the proposal.
