Yes I did that.  Twice.  I am now doing it a third time.

In the meantime I deinstalled py-cairo and make installed it and it thinks
its name is not py26-cairo

but x11-toolkits/py-gtk2 won't build because it thinks it need py25-cairo
which in turn needs python26.  But the pkg db doesn't have any py25-cairo
because it has py26-cairo which was built with python26.

It is really hard to tell whether python is more screwy than qt.  I'd say i=
t
is pretty much a tie.
