>An alternative would be insert some logic in the python eclasses to parse PYTHON_REQ_USE, and generate different dependencies for pypy-bin versus the rest of the python implementations. Or maybe redesign the way we handle that entirely. In any case, pypy-bin was added to the tree without any thought as to how to implement the eclass changes, so I have removed it and reverted the changes to package.use.force.
