What Python should I be running? I updated to 3.5 a while back, and I thought I should be updating to 3.6, but I'm getting unresolvable slot conflicts. To be completely honest I don't really understand what I'm doing here - at some point in the past to get 3.5 working within my system I added | Code: | PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5" |
to my make.conf to get things to update nicely, but it never felt right. I do have Python chosen in eselect, but I had to add those lines to make.conf to get it working last time.
Currently removing python ~amd64 from package.accept_keywords, removing those lines from make.conf, and updating world to go back to 2.7 + 3.4, at which point I'll remember to eselect python and then idk reassess the whole thing.
Could somebody tell me I'm an idiot for trying to update beyond 3.4 (~amd64 is there for a reason) or explain to me why I should try to get things running on 3.6 or ...?

| Running unstable python is fine, though I wouldn't worry about unmasking the masked USE flags on python. A lot of it is that, there are several python packages that are slow to support newer versions, so I would keep 3.4 as a target too. Half the time, I wouldn't worry too much about python-3.5 or 3.6 yet, unless you use blender which requires 3.5 iirc. |

| Python 3.5 hasn't been stabilized yet. Generally you will only want to install beyond the current stable package if you are interested in new language features or projects which use them. The features in 3.5 and 3.6 are interesting enough that some projects are already considering requiring 3.6 (which includes "fixes" to features in 3.5). |
