If the packages were already built with python_3.6 in PYTHON_TARGETS,
there should be no rebuilding. It is the change on PYTHON_TARGETS that
triggers the rebuild, eselect just chooses from one of the available
targets AIUI.

Thank you, that is just what I needed to know.

Hi, no problems doing it except because of the large number of packages
look forward to hours of compiling (24hrs on my surface pro4).  Got a
few other systems to do which is going to take awhile.

[gentoo-user] how to update python choice

2018-07-25 Thread allan gottlieb
I am still using python 3.4, i.e.

  sh-4.4# eselect python show
  python3.4
  sh-4.4# 

  sh-4.4# eselect python list
  Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
[1]   python3.4
[2]   python3.6 (fallback)
[3]   python3.5 (fallback)
[4]   python2.7 (fallback)
  sh-4.4# 
  
I realize I should have updated previously.

Is a python update as simple as
  emerge --update --changed-use --with-bdeps=n @world
  eselect python set python3.6
  emerge --update --changed-use --with-bdeps=n @world

I have no custom python scripts on either of my systems.

thanks in advance,
allan
