News:Python Updater Deprecation
Python Updater Deprecation
As some users have noticed, python-updater package, a tool for scanning and rebuilding python packages after major Python version updates now removed. As of Nov 28, python-updater no longer required to run. After merging new version of python ebuilds, following steps required:
Portage rebuild
root # emerge --oneshot sys-apps/portage
to ensure that unconditional dependencies are properly installed
Python Variables
In Funtoo Linux PYTHON variables set automatically in profile. In case PYTHON_* variables manually set in /etc/portage/make.conf , example PYTHON_ABIS="2.7 3.3", and/or /etc/portage/package.use, example app-category/pkgname python_abis_3.3 change them accordingly to a version you upgrade. Example PYTHON_ABIS="2.7 3.4", python_abis_3.4this require update portage again
root # emerge --nodeps --oneshot sys-apps/portage
This will rebuild portage independently of package dependencies, i.e if packages with old sys-apps/portage[python_abis_3.3] dependencies still present.
Changing the python active version
This can be achieved by using eselect.
root # eselect python --python3 python3.4
This command sets python 3 interpreter to a version 3.4, choose the one you upgrade to.
World update
Update your world.
root # emerge --update --deep --newuse @world
