This is confusing me.

At some point, you had docutils, ipython, and m2r built without docutils  having
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7", and there is no requirement in the ebuild of ipython
to mandate that. m2r requires `dev-python/docutils[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]`, however I
doubt that PYTHON_USEDEP would expand to a hard requirement on python2_7.

In fact, every single package from  your  original  message---quoted  below  for
convenience---supports versions greater than 2.7.

Just to be explicit, try updating  @world  with  `USE="-python_targets_python2_7
python_targets_python3_6"  <emerge  command>`.   I  assume  that  the  currently
installed version of ipython also has the [smp] USE-flag ?
