IIRC, Python is slotted, so you can have multiple versions |
8 |
installed simultaneously. However, I'm not sure how you confirm |
9 |
that without actually emerging 2.5. |

If it is slotted, you can emerge 2.5 without removing 2.4, and |
12 |
2.4 can still be the "selected" python (what's used by default |
13 |
by all of the Python apps installed on your system). |

If you want to test/develop an app using Python 2.5, you'd have |
16 |
to explicitly call out the python 2.5 interpreter when running |
17 |
the program. |
