Is there any link that could provide some guidance about the usage of pip+virtualenv? I could only find this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Pip relying on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python/Virtual_environment for virtualenv information. In my case I am used to pip (as regular user of course), but not with virtualenv... then, maybe pointing people to some instructions about how to properly use virtualenv+pip in Gentoo would be useful Thanks signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Python package +upstreams have started removing Python 2 compatibility code from their +packages more aggressively. This includes common dependencies such as +dev-python/pytest, dev-python/setuptools and dev-python/sphinx. While +we realize that many packages are still dependent on Python 2, providing +full support for it exceeds our maintenance capabilities. + +Upstream is planning to make one more release of dev-lang/python:2.7 +in April 2020. We are going to continue maintaining and patching +the interpreter for as long as it is feasible, most likely even after +all Python 2 packages are gone from Gentoo. + +At the same time, we are actively working towards switching +the distribution to Python 3. Whenever possible, we are removing +Python 2 support from packages. It will remain available for +the packages missing Python 3 compatibility and their dependencies +for some more time. However, packages that have little chances of being +ported will eventually be removed. + +If you are still using Python 2 for your projects, we strongly recommend +you to migrate away. For the time being, it is preferable to use +dev-python/virtualenv or a similar solution rather than ebuilds, +to install the dependencies for your projects locally. + +Regular Gentoo systems will be migrated off Python 2 gracefully. It may +be necessary to use --changed-deps or a similar option during system +upgrades whenever they become blocked by Python 2 packages installed +earlier. + +If you wish to remove Python 2.7 entirely sooner, you can try removing +python2_7 from PYTHON_TARGETS. However, this will require adding +explicit package.use entries if some of the installed packages still +require Python 2. An example package.use entry follows: + + # disable py2.7 without altering the other flags + */* PYTHON_TARGETS: -python2_7 + # enable py2.7 for setuptools + dev-python/setuptools PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7 + # switch a single-impl package to 2.7 + dev-embedded/libftdi PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7 + dev-embedded/libftdi PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python2_7 + +Note that package.use entries are not necessary for packages that +support one implementation only (i.e. do not support Python 3 at all). -- 2.25.0
[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] user.eclass: move read-only functionality to user-info.eclass
The new eclass can be used by ebuilds to look up user information
without triggering a deprecation warning from repoman and pkgcheck.
