[gentoo-alt] [PREFIX] Python-2 now disabled by default

[Fabian Groffen]

Python-2 is now disabled by default via
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=e9de14ba

Since this changes the default for *all* users:
- if you want to keep python2_7, in your etc/portage/make.conf:
  PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6"
- if you're ok without python2_7, rebuild things to avoid dependency
  problems:
  emerge -Duva --newuse world

Above after you synced to a tree that contains the change (in an hour
from now or so).

Thanks,
Fabian
