I use 'eselect python list' to see what options you have. |
12 |
|
13 |
Then I'd go to bugs.gentoo.org and poke around for any bug reports |
14 |
on python-3.4.* |

Use a -p to see what it proposes to do first.... |

I would not unmerge any version just yet. If a package absolutely needs |
31 |
python-3.4, it will let you know when you use a -p option. |
32 |
|
33 |
I'd also keep python 2.7 around a while longer, just to be safe. |
34 |
Keeping several old stable versions of python around is a good |
35 |
idea, imho. |

Best thing is to look for bug reports on 3.4.* with python. |
41 |
It is stable so there should not be anything significant. |
42 |
|
43 |
Note: without a working version of python, you system may become |
44 |
hosed, so be cautious with python as it is system critical. |
