If this is a problem, patching the sources at package level should not be a big deal. In Gentoo there's the possibility to have many python versions slotted. I am not expert in python-related questions though. I bet there's a simple way to deal with this kind of situation in ebuilds. The ebuild for 2.6.7 is mostly complete. Just need to take a shot at this little detail and test every crazy use flag combo. Thanks! -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
