Hi there!
I've just done an update and one of the updated programs is python.
There are 10 years now since I've installed Gentoo and been running #python-updater every time python is updated.
Last time I did it was a month or so ago.

Today, I wanted to run it again after that mentioned update and , alas ! there's no #python-updater command.

Code:
[ebuild     U  ] dev-lang/python-3.5.2:3.5/3.5m::gentoo [3.5.1-r1:3.5/3.5m::gentoo] USE="gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl threads xml -build -examples -hardened -libressl -sqlite -tk -wininst" 14,878 KiB


Code:
daniel ~ # python                                                                                           
python             python2.7-config   python3.4          python3.4m-config  python3.5m         python-config     
python2            python2-config     python3.4-config   python3.5          python3.5m-config  python-exec2c     
python2.7          python3            python3.4m         python3.5-config   python3-config     


Am I facing an error or this is the new normality ?

Thanks guys!

hi,
I don't know, if the python-updater command was part of the python package, but I can install the package via portage:

Code:

# emerge -av python-updater

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] app-admin/python-updater-0.14::gentoo  0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 KiB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Thank you mvaterlaus ! I didn't know it's a stand alone app.
I've always thought it comes with python.

Now, I've just installed python-updater. That's OK but now I wonder how python-updater was wiped out from my system ...

Code:
commit b7a4174e075a922a255c0ff4a6ebd4f6d0437c61
Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
Date:   Sat Jul 30 21:07:29 2016 +0200

    dev-lang/python: Remove remnants of python-updater
   
    Remove the remaining dependencies on deprecated python-updater,
    and update the postinst messages appropriately. For Python 2.7,
    the message has been removed altogether since it is the oldest version
    supported by PYTHON_TARGETS. For the remaining versions, just inform
    about potential PYTHON_TARGETS changes necessary.
   
    The modified versions are not revision-bumped to avoid unnecessary
    rebuilds due to a minor change. The versions that are still
    newest-visible (i.e. not replaced by another version or revision bump)
    will be bumped when python-updater is lastrited.


Summary: It's not been needed in a while, so dependencies on it were dropped, and eventually it'll disappear altogether.
