I seem to be falling behind. What other package managers does gentoo support?
There are two other package managers that can be used on gentoo
systems that I know of. pkgcore and paludis.
However, they are supported by their developers, and, the last time I
looked, gentoo's documentation still only supports portage.
In that sense, portage is still gentoo's _official_ package manager,
but there are alternatives if you don't want to use portage. So,
python actually is not required if you use paludis. I believe pkgcore,
however, requires it.
