Don't get me wrong, but isn't that what the python developers guide[1]
says? ("python.eclass supports PYTHON_DEPEND  helper variable, which
allows to specify minimal and maximal version of Python.")

I thought the whole point of this debate was that nobody cared enough to
convert all those ebuilds to use PYTHON_DEPEND properly. The proper fix
is to convert ebuilds to the new syntax.
