Just like in case of bug 539136, it's the backhanded way python herd tries to motivate other devs to port to one of python-r1 eclasses - it's already been fixed by 2.3-r1, this is at most a stable request.
This is an error in user configuration. USE_PYTHON="2.7 3.3 3.4" is set, and 3.4 is not supported there. See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/Implementations But yes, it's time to mark 2.4 stable.
