Hm, slightly surprised it works. I've had a poorer experience with symlinking the python module (not fully compatible). I considered having the ebuild do it but ultimately skipped that. However, if you say it works I think I'll have a 2nd look a bit later. It's fairly harmless to add either way.

I got the message anyhow so can skip the bug. -- ionen
