In a current thread started by Meino where he is having trouble emerging hydrogen he reported the following quoted data to Neil. I don't believe Neil has responded yet but Meino's data brought me back to a question I've meant to ask for a while so I'll take this opportunity.
>From Meino: <QUOTE> With eselect python list I get Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.6 [2] python2.7 [3] python3.1 [4] python3.2 * </QUOTE> which shows python3.2 as the system wide default. It's been my understanding ever since we first emerged any python-3.x version that we were not supposed to set any version of python3 as the system wide default. On all of my systems I have something like this: c2stable ~ # eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.7 * [2] python3.2 c2stable ~ # eselect python list --python2 Available Python 2 interpreters: [1] python2.7 * c2stable ~ # eselect python list --python3 Available Python 3 interpreters: [1] python3.2 * c2stable ~ # Now, like Paul Hartman I didn't have any trouble building and running Hydrogen as a Jack client. It works just fine for me. However no one else seemed to have picked up on Meino's configuration which makes me wonder if I missed the memo to make the 3.x version of the system wide default. What is the current best practice in this area? Cheers, Mark
