I would not unmerge any version just yet. If a package absolutely needs python-3.4, it will let you know when you use a -p option. I'd also keep python 2.7 around a while longer, just to be safe. Keeping several old stable versions of python around is a good idea, imho. > Can anyone explain or point me to the relevant docs ? Best thing is to look for bug reports on 3.4.* with python. It is stable so there should not be anything significant. Note: without a working version of python, you system may become hosed, so be cautious with python as it is system critical. hth, James
