Can this coexist with Python 2.7, or is it meant to replace it? 2011/11/4 Fabio Erculiani <[email protected]>: > Python 3.2.2 has been pushed to sabayon-limbo repository where it's > going to stay for quite long time (!!). > > There are several pitfalls and issues with this version: > > 1) it's crap and breaks the whole world > 2) did I mention crap? > 3) many modules are not going to work > 4) many packages (at least 100 from my first scripted checks) might > pull python3 in due to libertarian *DEPENDs > 5) Python 3.2.x has a ridiculous bug that prevents Entropy from being > able to unpack packages properly (DO NOT use Entropy with Python3, > actually, entropy itself has python2 in the shebang for a reason).
