8 Make sure python-2.5 is installed:
9 emerge -av =dev-lang/python-2.5*
10 eselect python set python2.5
11 python-updater --old-version 2.6
12
13 Mask python-2.6. This is needed because python will automatically
14 eselect the newest version each time it's emerged:
15 echo "=dev-lang/python-2.6*" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
16 emerge -C '=dev-lang/python-2.6*'
