[gentoo-dev] Re: Packages pulling in python-3*, also they dont require it

[Peter Hjalmarsson]

I have a question related to this:

If I have package X which supports python2 and python 3, and I install
it without python3 installed it will only install python2-files
(i.e. /usr/lib/python2.x/*), right?
What happens if I later install packages Y that is only python3, and
relies on the python3 parts of package X? Can this happen and how will
the PM handle that (reemerge package X installing the python3 parts or
fail to compile package Y due to missing python module)?
