i hope i am in right section, so i emerged net-misc/arm, but:
| Code: | grom@kishta ~ $ arm
File "/usr/share/arm/prereq.py", line 65
print "TorCtl successfully installed"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
grom@kishta ~ $ arm
File "/usr/share/arm/prereq.py", line 65
print "TorCtl successfully installed"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
grom@kishta ~ $ arm --help
File "/usr/share/arm/prereq.py", line 65
print "TorCtl successfully installed"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
grom@kishta ~ $ |

| At first glance it looks like you're trying to run a python2 script in python3. Try running it as "python2 `which arm`" |

| It looks like /usr/bin/arm is a shell script that runs the real arm for you. Yes, switching your system Python to Python2 should work. If it does, you should file a bug to have arm always use Python2 for that version, since it will require code patches before it can be run in Python3. |

| Code: | kishta grom # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7
[2] python3.3 *
[3] python3.4
kishta grom # eselect python set 1
kishta grom # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
[2] python3.3
[3] python3.4
kishta grom # arm
Connection refused. Is the ControlPort enabled?
kishta grom # |
I guess now it works, but i hit another problem, kheh, what is ControlPort, but i'll deal with that.
so, about this python change, this affects also other programs?

| It shouldn't have any negative effect, because most up-to-date python programs should call python2 or python3 explicitly. Leaving the system python as v2 is the safest option since all legacy code would be written expecting /usr/bin/python to be v2. |
