21 Python 3.4 will be enabled by default on 2014-11-22, replacing
22 Python 3.3 as the default Python 3 interpreter.
23
24 PYTHON_TARGETS will be adjusted to contain python2_7 and python3_4 by
25 default via your profile.
26
27 PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET will remain set to python2_7 by default.
28
29 If you have PYTHON_TARGETS set in make.conf, that setting will still be
30 respected. You may want to adjust this setting manually.
31
32 At the same time, support for Python 3.2 will be removed from the
33 python-r1 family of eclasses. This version no longer receives regular
34 bug fixes, and is currently only receiving security updates.
35
36 Once the changes have taken place, a world update should take care of
37 reinstalling any python libraries you have installed. You should also
38 switch your default python3 interpreter using eselect python.
39
40 For example:
41
42 eselect python set --python3 python3.4
43 emerge -uDv --changed-use @world
