10 Python is designed to work with multiple versions installed. Therefore,
11 the ebuild is also slotted so you can have multiple versions installed.
12 Use "eselect python" to choose which one you want to use as the
13 default. Also, don't forget to run python-updater after recent changes
14 that installed Python 2.6 for you. You can always unmerge the specific
15 old version afterwards. e.g.
16 "emerge --unmerge =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2"
