Up to a few days ago I had PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8"
in /etc/portage/make.conf and for any package to be installed for Python2.7, I had something like media-gfx/cropgui python_targets_python2_7 in /etc/portage/package.use But now, I have to add python2_7 to PYTHON_TARGETS whenever I want to emerge a package which needs Python2.7 But keeping PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8 python2_7' in my make.conf will install an (additional) Python2.7 version whenever the package has python2_7 in PYTHON_COMPAT in its ebuild file. Furthermore I would have to add more and more -python_targets_python2_7 in /etc/portage/package.use for any package which does not support Python2.7, any more. I am on the 17.1 desktop profile and use the GIT version of portage. What has changed and what can I do about it? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut
