[gentoo-user] Python 2.3 ready?
Hi,
Just want to know about the status on python 2.3.
Does portage is totally ready for python 2.3 and
python 2.3 ebuild stable??
If the both question is positive, what should I do in order to install
python 2.3 on my box?
update portage then python 2.3??
how about those python modules??
How to make it work with python 2.{2,3}?
Regards,
Zarick Lau

We hope that there are no problems left with portage and python-2.3, but
as there are some incompatibilities between 2.2 and 2.3 and some
important changes to portage to support python-2.3 it's still masked.
If the both question is positive, what should I do in order to

wait until it becomes stable.

After you emerged python-2.3 you're told to run python-updater, that is
a script that will re-emerge all python modules.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be

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.

If you check out the python ebuild in portage, you will see it is slotted for
2.3. I don't have it installed, but I assume it works (it is still set as ~x86
though). So technically, you could have it installed at home

I think I *will* wait until portage is ready for it though... after all... I don't mind breaking apps every now and then but if portage goes down then you're pretty royally screwed.

Tom,
It is fairly easy to compile and install python from
source - you could simply keep your personal python 2.3
in e.g. ~/local and let gentoo use the default 2.2
install. That's what I have been doing in the past.
cheers,

Re: [gentoo-user] Python 2.3 ready?
Hi,
Thanks for all your kindly response!
Right, it leads me to some question on the slot mechanism.
The slot stuff is nothing but making different version of pkg to coexist
on the system. Then, it there a way to setting the current version to
user? Is there any convention used whenever there are slotted pkgs?

Right, I have check the bug in bugzilla.
BTW, I am quite interested to give it a try, or as long as I can have a
way to recover my system in case crapp.
IMO, if I have a binary pkg of portage and python2.2 (stable),
it should be totally safe for me to try out the the unstable ones, do I
right?
