I don't think I removed it, just figured out how to change it with |

eselect. Here's what I mean: |

From this information I wouldn't expect : |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
laptop#eselect python set python2.7 |
| 57 |
laptop# |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
To have been correct... since it lists --python2 and --python3 below |
| 60 |
"set" in the help but: |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
laptop#python --version |
| 63 |
Python 2.7.7 |
| 64 |
laptop# |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
It does, and thats pretty much all I needed. No need to unmerge anything |
| 67 |
but the thought did cross my mind and if I were going to I would've made |
| 68 |
a binpkg first. |

Thanks, |
