So, I go back and eselect 3.8.
I then try to perform some basic maintainence which fails for
lack of a python module I think is installed for python 3.8.
Q: Is there no way to have a consistent version of Python on

# eselect python list;
Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
[1] python3.8
[2] python3.6
[3] python3.9
[4] python3.7 (fallback)
[5] python2.7 (fallback)
