Hello!

In "eselect news" info about python update there is a paragraph about
blocking the upgrade. It just means adding:

	*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_9
	*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_9

to /etc/portage/make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use or
/etc/portage/package.use/zz-somename - whichever suites you best.

You can also change these settings just for some packages, by adding:

cat/pkg PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_9 PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_9

to one of aforementioned files.

Hope that helps!
