I would discourage it. Making OpenRC build-depend on python introduces unnecessary complexity that will undermine the portability of OpenRC sooner or later. After all OpenRC is a small program easy to build with a hand-written Makefile. Parallel make issues? No problem let's just solve it. Please, keep it simple. Benda
