I hate multi-slot. I added readline to dev-lang/python in /etc/portage/package.use, and then ran "emerge -1 python"... which proceeded to update python 3.1, but *NOT* python 2.7. After I did... emerge -1 =dev-lang/python-2.7.2-r3 =dev-lang/python-3.1.4-r3 I got the same error, even after rebuilding. ============================================================= waltdnes@d530 ~ $ emerge -pv python:2.7 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I also ran revdep-rebuild, and it found nothing. The python command "modules", from inside the interactive "help()" command shows a ton of modules, but not "readline". Now what? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
