It was put into stable yesterday. It's slotted though, so as long as you don't make it your system python interpreter, it should be fine.

Code:

        (2.5)   2.5.4-r4

Okay. Must not've made it to all the mirrors yet as I sync'd right before I posted.

It showed up for me on the daily sync, I masked it and decided to check the forum for any problems before installing it.

I let it go on this morning, seeing that it showed up as "NS" and I remembered seeing something about "eselect python". I figured that like gcc, it would install and be available, but not defaulted.

Here is the gentoo news, just do as it says will be ok:

# eselect news read 10
2010-03-25-python-3.1
Title Python 3.1
Author Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever@gentoo.org>
Posted 2010-03-25
Revision 1

Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible
with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3,
so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3
installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created
to notify users.

Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python,
you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default,
modules that support both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed for both
the active version of Python 2 and the active version of Python 3 when both
Python 2 and Python 3 are installed.

It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. Especially
C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set,
then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set.
Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly
to upstream developers of given packages.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8.
