The eshowkw command from app-portage/gentoolkit seems to hide certain slots of certain packages, when python3 is active instead of python2. To be specific and honest, I have only tested 2.7 and 3.2, actually. 2 examples where it breaks are x11-libs/gtk+ and dev-lang/python (coincidentally). Tested right now with: app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.6 dev-lang/python-2.7.3-r2 dev-lang/python-3.2.3-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eselect python set python3.2 2. eshowkw python Actual Results: # python -V Python 3.2.3 # eshowkw python Keywords for dev-lang/python: | | u | | a a p s | n | | l m h i m m p s p | u s | r | p d a p a 6 i p c 3 a x | s l | e | h 6 r p 6 8 p p 6 9 s r 8 | e o | p | a 4 m a 4 k s c 4 0 h c 6 | d t | o ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.5.4-r4 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.5 | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.6.6-r2 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.6 | gentoo 2.6.7-r2 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo 2.6.8 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.7.2-r3 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.7 | gentoo Expected Results: # python -V Python 2.7.3 # eshowkw python Keywords for dev-lang/python: | | u | | a a p s | n | | l m h i m m p s p | u s | r | p d a p a 6 i p c 3 a x | s l | e | h 6 r p 6 8 p p 6 9 s r 8 | e o | p | a 4 m a 4 k s c 4 0 h c 6 | d t | o ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.5.4-r4 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.5 | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.6.6-r2 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.6 | gentoo 2.6.7-r2 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo 2.6.8 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 2.7.2-r3 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + | o 2.7 | gentoo 2.7.3 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo 2.7.3-r1 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo [I]2.7.3-r2 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 3.1.4-r3 | ~ + ~ + ~ ~ ~ + + ~ ~ ~ + | o 3.1 | gentoo 3.1.4-r4 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo 3.1.5 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo ------------+---------------------------+-------+------- 3.2.2 | ~ + ~ + ~ ~ ~ + + ~ ~ ~ + | o 3.2 | gentoo 3.2.2-r1 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo 3.2.3 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | # | gentoo [I]3.2.3-r1 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | o | gentoo
This is an interesting bug with the eshowkw code and python3. Anyhow, I've committed fixes to the eshowkw code in the gentoolkit repository and it is available for testing with the gentoolkit-9999 ebuild. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentoolkit.git;a=commit;h=9369c9a3e8d92ac445ff8929a448e83fd30fb485
Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0.6-r1
