| I have 3.1, 2.7 & 2.6 installed. Is it now safe to select python 2.7 as my main version and unmerge 2.6? |

Yes, first change the active version, run python-updater, and finally unmerge the old version.

"sure" and "safe" are words that should not be used in the same breath with "gentoo". 
I've updated python several days ago. After starting I get
| Code: | * Starting Python Updater...
* Main active version of Python: 2.7
* Active version of Python 2: 2.7
* Active version of Python 3: 3.1
* Adding to list: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs:0
* Adding to list: dev-libs/boost:1.42
|
Great! 
Unfortunetly over and over again.  |

Exactly that, what it's supposed to do.
| Code: | brain@ulising ~ $ eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
[2] python3.1
|
Da muss ein Hund drin sein, as we say in German.
Edit:
btw: what does this thread do in "Unsupported Software"? |

But, if you want to delete python-2.x, shouldn't you select python-3.1 as main active version, so that the python updater rebuilds your packages against it? And probably this is in Unsupported Software because removing 2.x is not officially supported (yet). |

I'm afraid, we're talking at cross-purposes.

AFAIK choosing 3.1 as the main active version would be no good idea. |
