Comment(by fbissey):
python testing is difficult. Even in gentoo the procedure is complicated.
I'll have a look at it but I cannot make promise. There may be modules
that we shouldn't build in the first place (nothing useful to sage, don't
worry).
We have this for example in the ebuild:
{{{
if use berkdb; then
ewarn "\"bsddb\" module is out-of-date and no longer
maintained inside dev-lang/python. It has"
ewarn "been additionally removed in Python 3. You should
use external, still maintained \"bsddb3\""
ewarn "module provided by dev-python/bsddb3 which supports
both Python 2 and Python 3."
fi
}}}
gdb, gdm, dbm and tk require extra things on the host system so they may
very well fail without. Actually according to the ebuild distutils and gdm
are known to fail.
