Bug 533406 – app-admin/python-updater does not respect PYTHON_TARGETS

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joakim Tjernlund 2014-12-23 17:20:07 UTC]

Please add same PYTHON_TARGETS as portage.

Building portage with python3.4 only breaks python-updater

python-updater is a bash script that calls /usr/bin/python in a couple places. It uses whatever version of python you have eselected. 

If you don't have portage installed for that version, it wont work.

We could adjust python-updater to call a specific version of python I suppose. However, I don't plan to work in it personally.

How do I make portage and friends use python3.4 while keeping
default python to 2.7?

Perhaps you could test python_single_target and use that
python version? Better that today anyway
