Have you set eselect python to use python-3 instead of python-2? If
so,
try setting it back to python-2.
No, python 2.6 ist set according to the output of
eselect python list
python 3.1 is installed but not selected.
What else can produce this compilation error?
Have you run python-updater?
When new packages have Python components, they will build both 2.6 and
3.1 modules if possible. This means that their dependencies also need
to have both 2.6 and 3.1 modules. You achieve this by running
python-updater; this can take several hours.
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
Did you miss the significance of this part?
"This means that their dependencies also need to have both 2.6 and 3.1

Or if he doesn't really need python 3, he can just mask the thing until
he does need it. Of course, he may have to run python-updater again or
rebuild the same packages again to get them to not use python 3.
Yep, making this stable hasn't confused anyone yet. o_O
