Hi, As you may have noticed, support for python 2.7 in the ipython stack has been removed from the main tree. Since ipython is an essential part of sage I removed python 2.7 support from all current sage ebuilds. I also removed the old sage notebook as it is a python 2.7 only component. There may be further clean up of the overlay to remove some bits that were only needed for the old sage notebook.
