Please review the attached news item. This is intended as a head-up before I adjust the default PYTHON_TARGETS setting in our profiles.
Any improvements are welcome.
Title: Python 3.4 enabled by default Author: Mike Gilbert <flop...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2014-11-15 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Python 3.4 will be enabled by default soon, replacing Python 3.3 as the default Python 3 interpreter. PYTHON_TARGETS will be adjusted to contain python2_7 and python3_4. PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET will remain set to python2_7 for the time being. If you have PYTHON_TARGETS set in make.conf, that setting will still be respected. This change only affects the profile defaults. At the same time, support for Python 3.2 will be removed from the python-r1 family of eclasses. This version no longer receives regular bug fixes, and is currently only receiving security updates. Once the changes have taken place, a world update should take care of reinstalling any python libraries you have installed. You should also switch your default python3 interperter using eselect python, and possibly run python-updater if you have some older python libraries installed. Expect these changes to take place around one week from the date of this news item.
