In no less than 30 days, we will be switching the default Python targets from CPython 3.5 to 3.6. The new values will be: PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6" If you haven't ported your package to Python 3.6, please look into doing it now. Helpful lists: packages missing python3.6 support: list: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gpyutils/35-to-36.txt graph: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gpyutils/35-to-36.svg packages needing stabilization: l https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gpyutils/35-to-36-stablereq.txt g https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gpyutils/35-to-36-stablereq.svg At the same time, I'd like to remind you that Python 3.4 reaches end-of- life in March 2019. For more details, see [1]. I'll submit a news item for users for review today. The switch will be postponed to account for its publication.
