(In reply to bitMan from comment #1) > eselect python set 1 This only changes your default Python interpreter. It won't change which version of Python is used by the www-client/chromium ebuild. You would need to change the PYTHON_COMPAT line in the ebuild to affect that, and even then, you wouldn't be guaranteed that Chromium's build scripts won't invoke Python 2 explicitly. Making the Chromium build compatible with Python 3 is quite an involved project. See the upstream bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=942720
Tagging to track. (It is now November 6 and Chromium still requires python2 to build, but RUNS fine without it.)
Both Python 2.7 and Python 3.* are now used since: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=aa31249b287e975aa25451cfc2f33f474b454932 commit aa31249b287e975aa25451cfc2f33f474b454932 Author: Stephan Hartmann <sultan@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2021-04-10 10:40:48 +0000 Commit: Stephan Hartmann <sultan@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2021-04-10 10:46:39 +0000 www-client/chromium: dev channel bump to 91.0.4469.4
