This for me is *exactly* why it is so infuriating. And doubleplus regarding security. Followed closely by something installing the py-27 version when I wanted the 36-version. I'd like to have the latest stable python for everything that requires it. Like I have with perl. I think that means py-36. I don't want py-27. I'd like to enforce that, but seemingly I can't, because the invocation in make.conf for default version does not enforce it in all situations. If something wants another version of python, I want it to fail, ideally spitting out a usable reason why. Is my position unreasonable? I hope it isn't. Maybe it is? I dunno. thanks, -- J.
