• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Darren Smith 2011-04-03 18:08:16 UTC]

Added setuptools to ebuild in local overlay and argparse installed properly. Here is the error w/o setuptools:

Hello Darren,

have you recently upgraded your default python2 version from 2.6 or previous to 2.7? Did you run python-updater (app-admin/python-updater) afterwards?
If not, please run it and retry to emerge __and__ report back.

Thanks,

   Michael

Looks like 2.7.1 has been installed since Dec 14, 2010:
1292327423:  ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) dev-lang/python-2.7.1 to /

I'm pretty sure I ran python-updater at that time, but here's what I get now:
# python-updater -p
 * Starting Python Updater...
 * Main active version of Python:  2.7
 * Active version of Python 2:     2.7
 * Active version of Python 3:     (None)

 *     check: manual [Added to list manually, see CHECKS in manpage for more information.]
 * emerge -Dv1 --keep-going -p dev-libs/boost:1.42 x11-libs/vte:0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
