If I recall correctly, there are a few programs that can run with python |
| 74 |
3. Thing is, there are still a LOT of them that can't run with it and |
| 75 |
must have python 2. If you switch to python 3, you will have a mess on |
| 76 |
your hands. If nothing actually requires python 3, mask it for now. It |
| 77 |
will be a while before you will have to have it anyway. When that time |
| 78 |
comes, portage will tell you that some package that must have python 3 |
| 79 |
only is masked. Then you can remove the mask, install it and switch to it. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
This is just to save you some "issues" later on. Trying to use python 3 |
| 82 |
right now is not going to work. Wait until things are able to use and |
| 83 |
go through the update process then and only have to do it once. |
| 84 |

That's my $0.02 worth. |
