Dunno about the python-3.2 thing. Are you set to use 3.2 by default? (How aggressive of you!) ;-) I'm set to use 2.7 as default which I think is the overall recommendation of dummies like me: c2stable ~ # eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.7 * [2] python3.2 c2stable ~ # The script has been around awhile and updated now and again. Possibly it's just not tested with python-3.2? Anyway, the folks on the mdadm RAID list often ask people who had a RAID completely fail if they had the info this script provides taken from prior to the crash so I do it for all my machines and then keep the output in my GMail account for safety. HTH, Mark
