Most just put PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_3" or something in make.conf which then again affects all packages and WILL cause blockers/unresolvable deps. Afair in the very early versions we just picked the "best" implementation and were done with it (since a python-single-r1 package should not provide modules anyway). What is wrong with that approach (except that it still causes useless rebuilds)? Do users really need that sort of control over non-module packages? If they really do, you can still do some additional work and make a real python-r1 package out of it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSbQEKAAoJEFpvPKfnPDWz5vsIAIjvgXeR3bVy5ayT8XpZDjZ1 G9hghpRqVr6C4ITTXeFnOQcmOqtcHb2zt6rudgjV8//4H9Vr+ZSqUmPAMaaM7aN6 A0ujl6+awMDoK3GUHZ05Hk0W+gy561OkeFpoCMkBZ1Xe31DEo3nnWUktYOfscal6 QAWQRUbONX/efoDh0C6WOSMfpgvgMn2TYvem+SOQ7PTiK01rY9Hoy5+JiN1g/e/W 4dmvmxXMQ8e7n0Ec/L0vtmey4NM6znqMQHzvK6r5Aed/6B1hzwNRvFz0R7QcjjUO B/kYopuTOzj8jr52Vl00rFVRP69bMFq1M4lldQiy6dIznOGr8WLX23UhSHS1J30= =nAwp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
