11 I leave everything at the defaults, unless there's something that i'm
12 certain I want to achieve. This goes for all settings, including USE, and i
13 usually use package.use rather than USE= in make.conf.
14
15 So for me there's no specific python/ruby etc settings in make.conf, but
16 there's still eselect, and i generally keep away from the newest and oldest.
17
18 Try unsetting python settings in make.conf and run an emerge -avuUD world
19 to see what you get.

21 BTW, for ~arch users python:2.7 is pretty much gone. For me, I just have
22 some gnome stuff which depends on dev-libs/gjs, which depends on
23 dev-lang/spidermonkey:68 which depends on python:2.7.
