That sounds reasonable.
Also there is a "-o PYVER" option for python-updater that may be handy in this case - not sure.  |

| Sometimes it's easier to reinstall than screw around with something. (As long as you have been doing installations recently.) |

Okay, my problem (as I understand it) was that I emerge --depcleaned python 2.6 before running python-updater. This broke portage.
What I did was unzip a precompiled python (2.5.4), switch to that, and use it to emerge python 2.6 again.
Then I ran python updater (to 2.6), emerge --unmerged python-3.1, ran emerge --depclean, and revdep-rebuild, which got the system back into the same state of sanity it was in before I started.

Okay, after emerging python-3.1, I have the same original problem (although this time I'm not screwed, because I haven't removed 2.6 yet).
The problem is that after running eselect python set 2 (to update the /usr/bin/python script to refer to python-3.1), then basic portage commands fail with what looks to my uneducated eye like python code remediation problems.
The first thing I tried to do was run python-updater, which yielded:
| Code: | typhoon ~ # python-updater
File "/usr/bin/portageq", line 52
print "ERROR: insufficient parameters!"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So I'm guessing that some remediation is required before I can just switch over to portage-3.1. I have masked it for now. What did I do wrong? Is there a specific series of steps following the emerge of portage-3.1 that I should have followed? |

You can't update portage to be compatible with python-3 without changing the portage code. But that's the job of portage developers. So you need to use python-2.x for the time for portage. python-updater can't update portage for python-3, yet.

You guys could have saved yourself some trouble by using | Code: | | eselect python list |
look at which one was python-2.6 or earlier then run | Code: | | eselect python set 1 |
for example to gain portage functionality back. Looks like python-3.1 needs more testing. |
