I'm trying to block installs of python-3 to save disk space so I have a mask in /etc/portage/package.mask. However I get this mask/keyword change needed:

Code:
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by dev-python/pyxdg-0.23, required by media-video/totem-2.32.0-r2[-python,youtube], required by gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1-r2, required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
=dev-lang/python-3.2.3-r2 ~x86

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by dev-python/pyxdg-0.23, required by media-video/totem-2.32.0-r2[-python,youtube], required by gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1-r2, required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
=dev-lang/python-3.2.3-r2


This package is already installed on my no-python3 system...and the ebuild looks fairly similar minus the keyword changes (version 1.4 vs 1.8). Anyone know why this suddenly requires python-3? I can't seem to find in any ebuild that requires python3...

The other alternative I hope to someday implement is deleting python2... I'm not sure if that's feasible either yet...

-----------------------------------------------------------

SOLVED - It looks like I should have set PYTHON_TARGETS in make.conf sort of as described in this:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/python-r1/user-guide.xml

Setting this variable in make.conf seems to make it work better - it wasn't clear before I finally found this webpage... Now my small installations won't have to worry about doubling its python disk space. My 2GB HDD on my Geode and my 32G netbook SSD need all the space they can save (though it's just around 30MB or so).

Code:

# emerge -pv pyxdg


Should say something like:

Quote:

[ebuild N ] dev-python/pyxdg-0.25 USE="{-test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2 -pypy1_9 -python2_6 -python3_1"


Disable "python3_2" from PYTHON_TARGETS and if that doesn't help, then disable also FEATURES="test" as in USE="test" since I'm not entirely sure if the "nose tests" pull in Pythoin 3.x or not.

Since I'm using ARCH=x86 on this machine, 0.25 is keyworded ~x86, will I have to use this version?

Also it looks like 0.23 is EAPI=4, perhaps that's what's going on here...

Update: I think that's what's going on here, the old EAPI ebuilds are for some reason want to pull in python3.

Starting to get a list of the stable ebuilds that want python3 due to something or another:

dev-python/pyxdg-0.23 (EAPI4) -> unmask pyxdg-0.25
dev-python/dbus-python-1.1.1 (EAPI4) -> unmask dbus-python-1.1.1-r1
dev-python/pycairo-1.10.0-r2 (EAPI3) -> unmask pycairo-1.10.0-r4
dev-python/numpy-1.6.2 (EAPI4) -> unmask numpy-1.6.2-r2 (? doesn't work?)
dev-python/pygtk-2.24.0-r2 (EAPI4) -> mask pygtk-2.24-r3 (?)

[WIP?]
