           Summary: emerge relies on PYTHONPATH; env variable already in
                    use by Python
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: 4.8.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: buildsystem
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
          Reporter: jeanpierreda at gmail.com

emerge apparently uses PYTHONPATH to point to the directory python.exe is in.
On the contrary, PYTHONPATH is already defined by python itself to mean extra
directories to use to import. So emerge is broken on many python installs.

Instead, emerge should use something like EMERGE_PYTHON_PATH.

Reproducible: Always
