Once I emerged sketch and i tried to run it from the console the following messages were displayed: /usr/lib/sketch-0.6.15/Sketch/Graphics/graphics.py:1245: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up self.gc = widget.CreateGC(foreground = 0xFFFFFFFF, Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sketch", line 34, in ?

But I can't tell for sure that it has something to do with it, since I didn't run sketch for quite a while now. I did run the python-updater script once I emerged the 2.3.3 version of python. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sketch 2. launch it from the console 3. Actual Results: Explained before.

OK, you need to switch to skencil, the new name for sketch. That is, emerge unmerge sketch && emerge skencil The latest version of skencil in Portage, skencil-0.6.16_pre3, works with Python 2.3. However it is currently marked unstable.
skencil 0.6.16_pre3 is now stable. sketch will be removed.
