app-portage/esearch-0.7.1 explicitly requires python compiled with
readline. Apple doesn't do this for us, hence portage wants to pull
python for users that use esearch. Unfortunately for us esearch has
been marked unstable when it was created, so I decided to mask it in the
macos profile.
A user in IRC encountered this problem when updating world using
~ppc-macos. I expect all upcoming versions of esearch to require
readline in esearch, hence I checked this patch in:
Index: package.mask
