Isn't that what eselect does? I'm recalling what was posted after you emerge python here. The einfo/ewarn thingy.

After all, python 2 has to die eventually. ^_^ Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
