Upgrading Python

FILE /etc/portage/package.use/python

*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_7
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_7

Why python3_7? Check support for any important python applications you need to use. For me, the limiting app is www-servers/uwsgi.

In general, update the required package to update the dependencies:

root #emerge -1N pygobject

REQUIRED_USE constraints are unsatisfied

root #emerge /usr/lib*/python* --changed-deps --oneshot --update --changed-use

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "dev-python/enum34:0" has unmet requirements.

- dev-python/enum34-1.1.6-r1::gentoo USE="-doc" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="-python2_7"

 The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
   python_targets_python2_7

 The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:

any-of ( python_targets_python2_7 )

root #emerge -cvp enum34

Calculating dependencies... done!

Nothing to merge; quitting.

Update these packages first:

root #emerge -1N pyopenssl urllib3 requests

root #emerge -1N cryptography

root #emerge -c enum34

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

dev-python/enum34
   selected: 1.1.6-r1
  protected: none
    omitted: none

All selected packages: =dev-python/enum34-1.1.6-r1

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.

>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

Wishlist

I wish portage had a machine-readable output so that this could be automated.
