[gentoo-user] python-2.5

[gentoo-user] python-2.5

[Grant]

I had to upgrade to python-2.5 for a media app called listen and now
I'm having trouble with another media app called miro.  I think I need
to downgrade to python-2.4, but I'm confused by the slotting behavior.
 Right now emerge -pv python tells me I have python-2.4.4-r4 installed
but I know I upgraded to 2.5.  How should I handle this?

Hello Grant,

did you run python-updater after you upgraded to the version 2.5 ? If
not that might help !

regards,

Boris

Hi Boris,

I did run python-updater.  Where I'm stuck at this point is
downgrading python back to 2.4.  Not sure how that's done with
slotting behavior.

Hi All!

I want to hear your opinion about upgrading to python 2.5!
What are the advantages and disadvantages in the gentoo world?
Pitfalls?
 Or other hints I should know?

for me it was seamless on all my machines:

- emerge pyton-2.5
- run python-updater
- paranoia check with revdep-rebuild
- emerge -C <python-2.5

And it all JuatWorked(tm)

Is really Portage compliant with python2.5? What are the reasons for not to
stabilize python2.5 at the moment?

Yes. Works here. 
Think about this, if portage could not use it, it would be nowhere near 
the tree.

No idea. Why don't you pop over to the bugzilla, read the open bugs and 
find out? Then you can post back here telling us why.

There is a reopened python2.5 stabilisation request on
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178800 with some interesting
comments... There you can find some other bugs about it in the comments...

Thanks for the link. As far as I see only a qterm depend bug is 
blocking. I switched to 2.5 without problems till now. As I use alot of 
python based programms for work I will soon notice if this was a good 
Idea or not. Thanks for suggestions.
