The packages are stuck on py3.6 which means they will be pain once we switch to 3.7. Please test them on 3.7 *and* 3.8 (so we don't to revisit this in a few months), and update PYTHON_COMPAT appropriately. If it doesn't work, please either fix it, remove Python or issue last rites. Please consider this urgent.
> Please test them on 3.7 *and* 3.8 (so we don't to revisit this in a few months) You may want to file bugs for all packages that are python-3.7-only. For example dev-python/matplotlib is python-3.7 only and has no python-3.8. Or better yet add an repoman warning so maintainers would know they need to do it periodically.
