14 PYTHON_TARGET determines for which version(s) of Python a package
15 installs its modules. The modules may be identical, but 3.7 and 3.8 have
16 different search paths, e.g. /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages vs.
17 /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages.

19 It is possible you have some old python_targets settings in package.use,
20 that's where I would check first.
