$ portageq envvar PYTHON_TARGETS python2_7 python3_3 python3_2 And emerge complains about ... emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-lang/python:3.2". (dependency required by "dev-python/docutils-0.10[python_targets_python3_2]" [ebuild]) ... I haven't set PYTHON_TARGETS anywhere. I assume this is somehow due to profile inheritance, since profiles/prefix/make.defaults has: # override base/make.defaults with versions we have in Prefix PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3" Changing the USE line in profiles/prefix/make.defaults from USE="readline zlib ncurses ssl" to USE="readline zlib ncurses ssl -python_targets_python3_2" makes the value go away: $ portageq envvar

% portageq envvar PYTHON_TARGETS python2_7 python3_3 is this still the case?
(In reply to comment #1) > % portageq envvar PYTHON_TARGETS > python2_7 python3_3 > > is this still the case? Yes. $ portageq envvar PYTHON_TARGETS python2_7 python3_3 python3_2 $ cat ${EPREFIX}/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp Sun Mar 24 17:36:07 UTC 2013 $ readlink ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/make.profile ../../usr/portage/profiles/prefix/linux/x86
we have python-3.2.3-r2 in tree now
