The 'pip' package name is ambiguous on Gentoo, with options 'app-misc/pip' and 'dev-python/pip', resulting in the following error during installation:
Error: /Stage[main]/Python::Install/Package[pip]: Could not evaluate: More than one package with the specified name [pip], please use the category parameter to disambiguate
The error message directs us to use the category parameter, which this module already did; however, category is a "read-only parameter set by the package" [1].
The correct way to disambiguate this package is to use the full package name, 'dev-python/pip'.
