Description Albert W. Hopkins 2019-08-15 16:41:04 UTC
From what I understand I have my flags set up such that vim build build against Python 3.6, however when I run vim it seems to be built agains Python 3.7:


```

# equery u vim
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]

```
# vim -c ':py3 import sys; print(sys.version)'
3.7.4 (default, Jul 15 2019, 11:13:52)
[GCC 9.1.0]
```

This is particularly an issue for me because I have a BINHOST that has *both* 3.6 and 3.7 installed but other systems that only have 3.6 installed, and so ":py3" on those systems fail.

```
# vim -c ':py3 import sys; print(sys.version)'

Comment 1 Alexander Tsoy 2020-05-07 11:45:09 UTC
Confirming this. After removing python3.6:

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: dev-lang/python-3.6.10-r2
 *  - /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
 *      used by /usr/bin/vim (app-editors/vim-8.2.0360)

Comment 2 Alexander Tsoy 2020-05-07 11:47:37 UTC
I think the problem is:

$(use_with python python3-command $(type -P $(eselect python show --python3)))

Comment 5 Bodo Graumann 2020-07-01 05:51:34 UTC
I encountered the same issue, only the other way around.
My system was updated from python 3.6 to 3.7, but vim was still compiled with python3.6m, because of course I only change the eselect setting after the whole update was complete.
Comment 6 Bodo Graumann 2020-07-01 05:53:19 UTC
Sorry for the noise, but I just noticed this applies to vim and gvim separately.
I need to recompile both to work around this issue.
