USE flags

berkdb - Add support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL)
bluetooth - Build Bluetooth protocol support in socket module
build - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping [make stage1]
debug - Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
ensurepip - Install the ensurepip module that uses bundled wheels to bootstrap pip and setuptools (if disabled, it will be only possible to use venv `--without-pip`)
examples - Install examples, usually source code
gdbm - Add support for sys-libs/gdbm (GNU database libraries)
hardened - Activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils)
libedit - Link readline extension against dev-libs/libedit instead of sys-libs/readline
lto - Optimize the build using Link Time Optimization (LTO)
ncurses - Add ncurses support (console display library)
pgo - Optimize the build using Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) by running Python's test suite and collecting statistics based on its performance. This will take longer to build.
readline - Enable support for libreadline, a GNU line-editing library that almost everyone wants
sqlite - Add support for sqlite - embedded sql database
ssl - Add support for SSL/TLS connections (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security)
test - Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
tk - Add support for Tk GUI toolkit
valgrind - Disable pymalloc when running under dev-util/valgrind is detected (may incur minor performance penalty even when valgrind is not used)
verify-sig - Verify upstream signatures on distfiles
wininst - Install Windows executables required to create an executable installer for MS Windows
xml - Add support for XML files
