After the upgrade, things seems broken:

If you have installed the emerge cdb speedups posted to the forums try this:
| Code: |
cd /usr/lib
cp python2.3/site-packages/cdbmodule.so python2.4/site-packages/
|
then emerge python-cdb and run python-updater. |

I suppose this is somewhat off topic, but is it alright to remove the old python after upgrading to 2.4? I noticed it just slotted them.
Thanks. |

I would also like to know that, but my guess is that it would be ok.

For discussion on how to remove python-2.3.5 in favor of 2.4.1 see this topic.
I'm currently in the process of upgrading python (it's compiling) and I hope to remove the previous version using the above instructions. Probably all should be fine. And in the case of something there are always forums and bugzilla 
EDIT:
Yup. Everything went correctly. The new python ebuild even notified me about what should be done.

Python-upgrade did not work for me, and portage was broken after that. I had to recompile python-cdb like this: /usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/bin/emerge -v dev-python/python-cdb
Now everything seems to work again. Just in case anyone has the same problem... |

you do know that there is a "python-updater" script that will scan your old 2.3 site-package dir and see what is there and what isnt in the 2.4 site-package dir and automatically emerge the relevant packages
so again
python-updater
should be used at a major-number upgrade for python, it will next be needed at the 2.4 -> 2.5 step (but that is a long way off)

| Kinda OT, but I was also semi-b0rk3d by the Python upgrade - namely PyQt wouldn't work any more, and I couldn't re-emerge it due to the module "sipconfig" not being found. I had to re-emerge dev-python/sip before I could rebuild PyQt. |

If you look at the code segment, you'll see the OP was trying to run python-updater which gave him the error messages: | Code: | python-updater
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have to second that emotion, you deffinitely do rock. My portage was broken, python-updater wouldn't work and I was told to run portageq portdir which didn't work due to an update python. This fixed me. Thanks again.
