There seems to be a misunderstanding on what will happen if/when python 3 gets stabilized. The short answer is... *drum roll*... nothing :) I'm guessing that the idea of getting python 3 stable is to allow people interested in using it to do so easily. We're talking about the stabilization of python 3, NOT switching portage or your system to it. Python 2.6 will continue to be the user's default python even after he installs version 3. In fact, if you're using ~testing you should have it already and your system is probably still working OK :) Now.. if a user decides to switch his system *manually* to python 3 without thinking... he's asking for it :) -- Alex || wired Gentoo Dev www.linuxized.com
