Hi Dave, wait...hopefully I understand this correctly, before I start to screw up my newly installed system... State 1 right after installing Gentoo: Pyton2.6 selected, installed and up. State 2 some days later while upateing python3.1 was offered but should *not* eselect python 3.1 since some older package are still not updated to work correctly with 3.1 State 3 setuptools seems to try to compile against 3.1 and failed. Now I should run python-updater to ... (scratching my head)? To update to python 3.1..but setuptools failed while compiling against python 3.1 It seems I myself feel a little screwed up,,, ;) ? Best regards, mcc
