Why did portage remove my python-2.5?
Yes, after every world update. I'm not sure why python-3.5 was removed. Before you set PYTHON_TARGETS in make.conf, had you run an `emerge --sync' in a while? It's possible the default PYTHON_TARGETS from your profile did not include python-3.5, so --depclean would have removed it. Alec
