I'm on ~arch, so dealt with it already, doing pretty much exactly that. =20 Nothing I have installed uses py3k yet, and there's really no reason I=20 need it installed, so I have it locally masked. At some point, various packages will begin to depend on it, and when they= =20 need stabilizing, we'll need py3k stabilized as well. But meanwhile, as=20 long as it itself is working well, we can use the time until then to=20 smooth the transition when that day arrives, arranging for modules to=20 install in multiple slots, etc. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
