Your changes are far too complicated to me. Python eclass and
consequently writing python ebuilds is a difficult task already.
If you keep adding more and more "magic" in this eclass,
you will end up supporting and fixing all the python ebuilds by
yourself. Maybe you should consider splitting python eclass
into two separate modules. One for core functionality and
another one which will inherit this core eclass and export
a simple API so the rest of us can use python eclass without
having to study all the documentation for a month.
Ditto, I've already stopped caring about python ebuilds in Gentoo Linux.
