This goes for all settings, including USE, and i usually use package.use rather than USE= in make.conf. So for me there's no specific python/ruby etc settings in make.conf, but there's still eselect, and i generally keep away from the newest and oldest. Try unsetting python settings in make.conf and run an emerge -avuUD world to see what you get. BTW, for ~arch users python:2.7 is pretty much gone. For me, I just have some gnome stuff which depends on dev-libs/gjs, which depends on dev-lang/spidermonkey:68 which depends on python:2.7.
