Re: [gentoo-user] problem updating python

[dan blum]

The current Python version is at least 3.1. When I had an issue with an upgrade to version 3.1 from 2.6, my KDE and x crashed. When I reported this to Gentoo, I was told that this was not even a bug. My solution was to reload tho complete system.

My guess that part of the problem may be that you are emerging an older version of Python.
