[gentoo-user] "eselect (c)python --list" corrupted somehow?

[tuxic]

Hi,

I want to compile/install FreeCAD. I checked my python/cpython
installation, because FreeCAD wants python 2.7

I got this output

/root>eselect python list --cpython     
Available Python  interpreters, in order of preference:
  [1]   python3.5
  [2]   python3.4 (uninstalled)
  [3]   python2.7
  [4]   python3.4 (uninstalled)
  [5]   python3.6
  [6]   python3.4 (uninstalled)

Why it is listing python versions, when '--cpython' is set?
Why do I have doubled entries?


Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Cheers!
Meino

Not “corrupted somehow”, it’s a work-in-progress (WIP), see [1].

>Why it is listing python versions, when '--cpython' is set?

Because the filter ‘--py’ for option ‘--cpython’ (action list) probably 
doesn’t match the condition:

    [[ ${1} == --py* && ${i} != python${1:4}* ]] && continue

in file [a] to skip not requested output.

>Why do I have doubled entries?

Because your version of app-eselect/eselect-python probably doesn’t 
provide the function do_cleanup() in [a] to sanitise [b].
