You can add 3.8 as a target on a specific package by specifying the |
15 |
USE flag 'python_targets_python3_8' for it. |

If you decide to go that route, I recommend doing that only on a |
18 |
specific package version. You will then be required to keep up with |
19 |
the package if a new version is released that still does not have 3.9 |
20 |
available, but you will automatically be rid of the 3.8 dependency on |
21 |
that package whenever a version is released that can be upgraded to |
22 |
3.9. |
