8 No. When you installed python3 it pretty much tells you *not* to do
9 this. You get a big fat WARNING:
10
11 WARNING!
12 Many Python modules haven't been ported yet to Python 3.*.
13 Python 3 hasn't been activated and Python wrapper is still
14 configured to use Python 2. You can manually activate Python 3.1
15 using `eselect python set python3.1`. It is recommended to
16 currently have Python wrapper configured to use Python 2. Having
17 Python wrapper configured to use Python 3 is unsupported.
