Hi,

I did an

    eselect python list 

and got

  [1]   python3.6
  [2]   python2.7 (fallback)

. Then I did an


    eselect python set 2

to examine some error while trying to install a local
package. And then I switched back wth


    eselect python set 2

again since python3.6 was set at [2] now.

Now 

    eselect python list 

shows me

  [1]   python3.6
  [2]   python2.7 


. The "(fallback)" was missing now.



How do I need to use eselect to set python2.7 as fallback"



Cheers!
Meino

I don't see a "(fallback)" label here, and everything is working fine. I 
don't think it's important.

Hello,

This is probably because you now have Python2.7 as active. You can change it back to have the fallback label doing the following:
# eselect python edit
< Then remove the python2.7 entry from the file and save >

Calling again eselect python list should report python2.7 as fallback.

Cheers
