[solved] Current Python Version Selection

[jagdpanther]

I know that "eselect python" is the old way to select python versions. Also according to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Python "eslect python" still is a wrapper to /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf. The only uncommented lines in my /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf are:

Either your @world does not mention dev-lang/python or it has no version nor slot specification.
Your entire system can be rebuilt with just python 3.12, so portage is fine with trying to remove python 3.11.
python-exec.conf is not in this equation at all.

What you can do is add python 3.11 to your world set. emerge -u python:3.11 should do the trick.
That way, some version of python 3.11 will remain in your @world set.

Thank you. Your suggestion fixed the issue.
(And you were correct, I checked /var/lib/portage/world and there were no dev-lang/python:3.x entries.)
