As long as you're not doing anything too crazy you should be ok just setting whatever python USE flags portage is asking for. Packages should all be flagged with what versions of python work, and other than having a couple of versions of things installed there really isn't any harm in having this package using this version of python while a different one uses another. I'd just stick all those settings in a separate file. Once things settle down you should see what happens if you just remove all those settings entirely and go back to defaults. If you get a rat's nest of errors/etc then just put the file back. Eventually you might get to a point where it wants to rebuild everything but otherwise there are no errors - maybe a few weeks from now. Also, I do suggest following the news item and enabling both 3.6 and 3.7 for the time being to just reduce churn. You can remove that once things settle down. -- Rich
