how to build with python 3 when 2 is the default one[Solved]

[msdobrescu]

Hello,

I try to build dupeGuru (http://www.hardcoded.net/dupeguru/).
It seems to request python 3.

Code: Select all

ImportError: No module named builtins/code]

I have python 2 and 3 installed, but 2 is the default one and I wouldn't make the 3 as default:

[code]python -V
Python 2.7.2


How could it be done?

Thank you.

Hi

You can install python3 from entropy and switch it using eselect python command

build your package and then remember to switch to python2.7 becaus most applications are not supported from python3

check available python list

Code: Select all

# eeselect python list

Set python profile

Code: Select all

# eselect python set X

where "X" is the index of python showed

Example :

Code: Select all

# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.2


To switch from 2.7 to 3.2 type :

Code: Select all

@ eselect python set 2
