Python is slotted (see gentoo docs for more info on SLOTS). |

|
| 31 |
Samba is not downgrading python, it is asking for python-2.7 to be |
| 32 |
installed alongside python-3.2 (so you will then have both). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Just accept what portage says and let it do it;s thing - there are many |
| 35 |
packages out there that are not ported to python-3 yet so you almost |
| 36 |
certainly are going to need python-2.7 at some point anyway. |
