That sounds like you might still have some packages where the use flags python_targets_python3_4 and/or python_targets_python3_5 are active. Vim comes to my mind as an example: # equery u app-editors/vim [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for app-editors/vim-8.0.1298: U I ( ... ) - - perl : Add optional support/bindings for the Perl language - - python : Add optional support/bindings for the Python language - - python_single_target_python2_7 : Build for Python 2.7 only - - python_single_target_python3_4 : Build for Python 3.4 only - - python_single_target_python3_5 : Build for Python 3.5 only + + python_single_target_python3_6 : Build for Python 3.6 only + + python_targets_python2_7 : Build with Python 2.7 - - python_targets_python3_4 : Build with Python 3.4 - - python_targets_python3_5 : Build with Python 3.5 + + python_targets_python3_6 : Build with Python 3.6 - - racket : Enable support for Scheme using dev-scheme/racket ( ... ) As you can see, vim was built with support for Python 2.7 and 3.6, but neither 3.4 nor 3.5. Which is the way I want it. -Ralph
