      Hallo Benny!               BP> gentoo have python installed both python2 and python3, i dont        BP> know why :)              Firefox and the like. Also I believe there are some specific python3 apps       used for development tools not too unlike cmake. Everything else, such as       mesalibs, still require python2 and thus the additional bloat; both python2       and python3.               BP> is your plan to make portage in bash ?              No. Basically what little I have is for keeping track of what to remove if       and when I uninstall a package mostly to facillitate upgrading. In the case       of glibc it is better to start from scratch and rebuild the entire system       which of this writing consists of exactly 167 packages, including python2       which is needed by glib which is a dependency for mc. If I got rid of mc I       could probably get rid of python2 despite a few packages (alsa for example)       whining about the lack of python2 but not failing to build and/or work without       it. However I find mc handy to have every now and then, such as for browsing       tarballs, so I put up with python2 in order to develop the few utilities that       require it to be available. Same with perl which even glibc requires to be       available when building despite the fact it adds too much bloat for what       little actual use I personally have for it.              Het leven is goed,       Maurice              ...
