4 Hi,
5 I am trying to install Plone which depends on Python 2.4. Portage
6 installs Python 2.4 in a slot in addition to Python 2.5 which my system
7 uses as a default. Plone also depends on 2 other packages
8 (Python-Imaging and Python-Elementtree). However, if I emerge these they
9 end up in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages.
10 Is there a way to change the default python version temporarily so that
11 emerge merges the correct version of these packages into
12 /usr/lib/python/2.4/site-packages, where I need them?
13 Thanks for any help in advance.
