installing python 3.x and python 2.x

anybody runs both distributions on the system? i would like to try it but fear some incompitablies or complete broken python support. any advise?

best regards,
 
I have python 2.5, 2.6 and 3.1 installed.

Python 2.6 is the default now I believe so you should not need to do anything special.
To be safe you can edit make.conf to contain the following

Code:
PYTHON_VERSION=2.6
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=2.6
 
2.7 is actually the default now. I use it together with 3.2.

Setting PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION is enough to prevent a lot of stuff from breaking.
