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. -- Regards, Mick
