I have to admit this has been really frustrating for me as well... Because I do
a lot of my university work in python 2.3 I haven't really been able to work
from home until 2.3 gets marked as stable. It's not a big deal, but I like 2.3
and want it available.
But here's my thought... a lot of distributions have multiple versions of python
installed (with binaries like python2.2, python2.3 etc). So what's stopping
Gentoo from using its slotting mechanism for just this purpose? Then you could
have all the python versions you want and portage itself could be dependent on
the 2.2 slot of python until such time as they have it ready for 2.3?
If portage is almost ready for 2.3 then I guess it's a moot point. But it still
seems like a reasonable idea to me.
