I tend to use fairly conservative settings as well, Gentoo's just nice and stable as a general rule, I don't care about ultimate speed or tweaking the code much, I just find that building everything from source (but without the headaches) tends to make things work together well.
As far as Python support goes, Gentoo tends to work very well for Python packages, Pygame and wxPython on AMD64, for instance, install flawlessly out of the box (where others seem to have problems)... in fact most of the major packages install reliably. There's a key note that you might miss regarding the Python updating process, namely that you have to run python-updater to rebuild all of your packages for the new Python version, but once you know that, Pythonicity in Gentoo is pretty straightforward. Anyway, just a vote that's trying very hard to keep on-topic for the python list, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
