[gentoo-user] Packages for Python 2.3

[gentoo-user] Packages for Python 2.3

Hello,
I am developing some software that needs to be tested against Python 2.3. So 
my Gentoo box has both, Python 2.4 and 2.3. Now, I need to have some Python 
packages available for both (or at least, for 2.3), for example: 
mysql-python.
How do I achieve that ?
Thank you.

You may need to modify the ebuild. Try adding something like this near 
the top:

PYTHON_SLOT_VERSION="2.3"

That's used by distutils.eclass, which mysql-python inherits.

Ouch! Is that the only way ? modifying the ebuild and loosing it for Python 
2.4 ?

Well you may not need to lose it for 2.4, if you also revision bump it. 
Portage doesn't support simultaneously installing the same version 
multiple times, that's why you need to change the revision number (or 
the package name).

Thanks,
