Yes, if you need a particular python version for a package and you set e.g.:

USE="python_targets_python3_4" emerge -1aNDv <package>

a large number of dependencies will be also rebuilt with python-3.4, which is 
a pain.  If you change the above to "python_targets_python3_5" the whole thing 
repeats itself, which is a pain.  The alternative is to exclude said package 
and wait a few days until net-misc/electrum (or in my case libreoffice-bin and 
gdb) ebuilds are updated for the latest stable python.
