I did "emerge -up world" last night, and python-2.4 was installed. /usr/bin/python now points to python2.4. When starting up Emacs, I got the following message: """ An error has occurred while loading `/home/max/.emacs': error: "Pymacs loading pycomplete...failed" To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error in your initialization file and remove it. Start Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace """ I re-emerged pymacs, thinking that that might fix the problem. It doesn't. (I now have a Pymacs directory in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, and one in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages.) When I re-symlink /usr/bin/python to point to python2.3 instead, everything works. I don't want to do that permanently, because I think it might break something. emacs --debug-init produces the following: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Pymacs loading pycomplete...failed") signal(error ("Pymacs loading pycomplete...failed")) error("Pymacs loading %s...failed" "pycomplete") pymacs-load("pycomplete") byte-code("

I checked, pycomplete is part of python-mode. It turns out python-mode modules were still in /usr/lib/python2.3. A re-emerge fixed that.
