I removed 2.6 from my desktop nearly four months ago with no ill effects. 3.1 is fine to have installed, but don't make it the default. Scripts that want 3.1 can still use it but you don't break backward compatibility. -- Neil Bothwick If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Definitely not. > Or should I stay in Python 2.6? Yes. You can use any version you want for your own apps, but as of a couple weeks ago, I know that switching the Gentoo system apps to Python 3 would break things.
