Project:Python/python-r1

python-r1 is the python-r1 suite eclass intended for ebuild that install files that may be used with one or more of installed Python interpreters but not use the distutils build system.

For this reason, the ebuild itself needs to ensure proper install procedure for multiple Python implementations. This often means that it is the hardest to use of all -r1 eclasses. Therefore, if your package doesn't really need to be installed for multiple implementations, you may consider using python-single-r1 instead.
