The SELinux libraries for Python only exist for Python 2. Without them, |
| 20 |
Portage will be unable to e.g. load policy and set file context. You can |
| 21 |
have Python 3 installed, and it can be the default interpreter if |
| 22 |
sys-apps/portage was built with USE=python2, but you cannot have *only* |
| 23 |
Python 3. |
