at present the eselect-python module has been updated to generate a python bash wrapper script (for python multiABI support?) Problem is other supporting function of eselect (show and list) are not fully supported for this method eselect python show output: python eselect python list output: Available python interpreters: [1] python2.5 [2] python2.6 [3] python3.1 both these output rely on the output of a bash function: canonicalise which is essentially /bin/readlink -f "$@" problem is /usr/bin/python is no longer a symlink Suggested patch checks if /usr/bin/python is a symlink. If so continues as normal, if not performs a grep to extract the python version from the bash script eselect python show python2.6 FluidMotion libs # eselect python list Available python interpreters: [1] python2.5 [2] python2.6 * [3] python3.1 output as per old Reproducible: Always
