Hi list,

compiling the actual code-base of lvm2 gets an error on gentoo with a
newer python-release than 3.2:

Ive started with python-3.2:

./configure       --with-thin=internal      
--with-replicators=internal       --enable-udev_sync      
--enable-udev_rules       --enable-python-bindings      
--enable-applib       --enable-cmdlib       --with-cache=internal      
--enable-lvmetad --enable-dmeventd

[..]

then the build is broken:

[..]

/usr/include/python3.2/tupleobject.h:62:73: warning: assignment makes

 #define PyTuple_SET_ITEM(op, i, v) (((PyTupleObject *)(op))->ob_item[i]

                                                                         ^

make[1]: *** [.liblvm_built] Error 1
rm liblvm_python.c
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lvm2/python'
make: *** [python] Error 2

Now I change to python-2.7:
heimserver lvm2 # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.6
  [2]   python2.7
  [3]   python3.2 *
  [4]   python3.2
  [5]   python3.4
heimserver lvm2 # eselect python set 2

Now all is fine:
