I just remerged Fetchmail to be sure, but 'fetchmailconf' doesn't work :

  669: ~> fetchmailconf
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/fetchmailconf.py", line 2103, in 

  hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())[0]
socket.error: unknown address family

I suspect Fetchmail is somewhat neglected : is there an alternative ?

Otherwise, thanks for the various responses.
I now understand what's going on & will defer Python 2.7 till year-end.

For fetchmail, unset the 'tk'-useflag:

+ + tk   : Enable support for Tk GUI toolkit, in
   particular it installs fetchmailconf

  Is that a build-time dependency or is it needed for Firefox to
actually run?  I suppose you could unmerge Firefox, and install
Firefox-bin to find out.

Thanks ! -- in  16 years  using Gentoo, I've never come across eclasses.
I see they are listed in  /usr/portage/eclass .
Is there a doc which describes what they are & what they do ?

Let's hope everyone involved gets their acts together
before Python 2.7 becomes unsupported 2020-01-01 ...
