Currently there is only python version <3 supported as system python. So |
| 18 |
you *never* eselect python 3. But there is no problem installing slotted |
| 19 |
python versions side by side. There are currently to versions of |
| 20 |
packages, those which support installation of multiple python ABIs. They |
| 21 |
will install supporting modules for all available ABIs. And those which |
| 22 |
support just a single version, they will install as normal and fix the |
| 23 |
shebang to the highest supported version. |
| 24 |
So in you case, just emerge python-3, but leave the system python to py-2.*. |
| 25 |
There will be an announcement, when py-3.* goes stable and is supported |
| 26 |
to be used as system python. |
