However, I'm not sure how you confirm that without actually emerging 2.5. If it is slotted, you can emerge 2.5 without removing 2.4, and 2.4 can still be the "selected" python (what's used by default by all of the Python apps installed on your system). If you want to test/develop an app using Python 2.5, you'd have to explicitly call out the python 2.5 interpreter when running the program. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
