I care quite a bit about Python and do a fair amount of developemnt in Python. Howver, I don't (at this point) give a monkey's about 3.12 vs 3.11, so I'm just going to delay the 3.12 upgrade on all my machines except for the one where I got stuck after step 1 of the now-famouse "3 step upgrade process". :) That one machine seems to be working fine (though it's still missing a few packages that I removed because the build failed with 3.12). So I'm going to leave it where it is (possibly reinstalling the missing packages as I run into the need for them). At some point, emerge -auvND will complain because some installed package doesn't support 3.11 any longer — and then I'll upgrade to 3.12. -- Grant
