There weren't any major changes in python.eclass in last months. In 
r1.96:r1.100 I committed a set of minor changes.
Some code was moved, which might cause false impression that there were some 
major changes:
- "MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS" section (with 8 functions) was moved to before 
"FUNCTIONS FOR PACKAGES SUPPORTING
   INSTALLATION FOR MULTIPLE PYTHON ABIS" section.
- python_pkg_setup() function was moved to "MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS" section.
- A part of python_mod_cleanup() function was split to 
_python_clean_compiled_modules() function.
  python_mod_cleanup() now calls _python_clean_compiled_modules().
- 2 loops in python_mod_optimize() were divided and some code was reindented.

It's untruth. python.eclass or distutils.eclass don't enforce any particular 
version of Python.

You might file an enhancement request for Portage to show news items before 
installation.

I never said it. The plan was to have 1 news item for all users, who have 
installed Python 3.1.

I'm answering to new (unanswered), rational arguments about these topics.

There had been multiple threads about Python 3. Read e-mails written by me or 
Dirkjan Ochtman in the following threads:
