Set PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET in package.env and not make.conf. That is definitely a setting that can't be set globally. That said, the way python works on Gentoo certainly gets a lot of people confused. Also, just a heads-up that python 2.7 probably will be leaving the main repository in the next few weeks unless somebody steps up to maintain it. -- Rich
