Project:Python/Implementations

This page shortly lists Python implementations (interpreters, providers) supported by Gentoo.

Implementation support status
Explanation:


 * removed — the implementation has been removed from the repository, and the eclasses ignore its occurences in PYTHON_COMPAT. It is no longer possible to us, it should be removed from your system ASAP and you can drop it from PYTHON_COMPAT at will with no worries.
 * deprecated — the implementation is no longer supported and will be removed at some point. You should avoid adding support for it to more packages. However, please avoid removing it from PYTHON_COMPAT since that can cause dependency errors.
 * supported — the implementation is currently supported. We're happy to handle bugs, add support for it, etc. Developers are encouraged to test their packages with all supported implementations.
 * current stable — the implementation is supported and enabled by default for our users. The developers are expected to test their packages with all implementations qualified as this.
 * not supported yet — the implementation will be supported in the future. Developers are encouraged to stop by, ask what needs to be done and help with getting them ready.
