Subject: [gentoo-user] portage python USE flags.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I have a quick question.  I sync'd a bit ago and noticed something a bit 
odd.  Here it is:

[ebuild     U *] sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha34 [2.2.0_alpha33] 
USE="(ipc) -build -doc -epydoc -python2 -python3 (-selinux)" 
LINGUAS="-pl" 794 kB

I know portage needs python but check out the USE flags.  Both python2 
and python3 are disabled.  Shouldn't one of those be enabled?  Even 
better, shouldn't portage complain a bit about this before emerging?  
Thing is, I'm tempted to enable them both.  2.7 is currently being used 
but won't 3.1 be used eventually? Should I enable both or just emerge as 
is?

That is the unstable version so if this is a problem, I want to file a 
bug before someone else runs into this and ends up with a borked system.

Thanks.

Dale
