Q: How do I know which verson of python is suitable? I never deal with the language... last I saw was some news that turn off the targets would be preferable. Is there some real advantage to targets vs target (i.e., at this point is it reasonable to just have a single target)? I'm still not sure, however, why a module installed with python 3.8 would leave portage disfunctional if that version were selected.
