the new dnspython removes the need for the py2 and py3 slots, but the matching virtual has not been updated. It currently blocks the upgrade to the newest version as it has a !dev-python/dnspython:0 (presumably for the transition to the split packages).
I think the proper way of fixing this is to stabilize the new dnspython, then start transitioning things back to that. Once transitioned we'd remove the virtual.
Currently it breaks unstable dnspython which probably makes stabilization a bit difficult. It would be nice to see this fixed before things get stabilized as it is blocking world updates.
It would be nice if this could finally be fixed. Now the latest stable (!) dnspython can not be installed as it is blocked by the virtual which most packages depend on.
