Re: [gentoo-user] Q: What is "python-exec2c"? Why would "python3" dispatched through it not see an installed copy of pyyaml?

If you can unsnip here and show more of the output, we could see what
package is causing this error. This error is telling you that
something in the snipped output is requiring dev-python/chardet to be
built with python targets matching that other package, and that
package seems to be using other targets than the default 3.8.

Since you've already mentioned that depclean doesn't remove anything,
do you have any package-specific python targets set that you've
forgotten about?
# grep python_targets /etc/portage/package.use/*

It seems to me very similar to other threads on this list where people
have older packages hanging back that creates problems because portage
can't remove them.
