Hello, At the moment, it's very hard to install python 2.7 and 3.3 because of the unification of the python ports. Also, pkgng will not let the user install both the 2.7 and 3.3 version of the interpreter because it will conflicts on several files such as /usr/local/bin/python for example. What I would like to propose, is to remove the non-versioned binaries such as : /usr/local/bin/2to3 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python-config This should completely be removed from every version's pkg-plist. Then we can create temporarly symlink in the pkg-install script if they are not present. This will allow the installation of python 3.3 and python 2.7 at the same time. I'm currently working on a implementation of interpretor selection. So in the future we will be able to select the interpreter for python, ruby and other interpreted languages. This is highly based on eselect from gentoo. Cheers, -- Demelier David
