Thank you Neil for this amazing hack! This has truly been great at solving the mystery.
Using this I finally found out that on my system the only thing keeping Python 3.7 was:
app-office/libreoffice-bin-6.4.6.2-r2 requires dev-lang/python:3.7[xml]On that note, I feel like I should share my sentiment on what I had tried before to solve this conundrum:
$ eix --installed-with-use python_targets_python3_7
$ eix --installed-with-use python_single_target_python7_7
but obviously the above only work for ebuilds that explicitly have the
respective PYTHON_TARGETS and PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET variables and will
not include hard dependencies - this is to be expected.
More shockingly however, I was surprised that equery did not reveal _anything_ useful at all e.g.
$ equery depends python:3.7
$ equery depends '=dev-lang/python:3.7'
$ eix --installed-depend python:3.7
eix above was also useless as it provided a very different output to
that of `emerge -cpv'. I thought the whole purpose of 'equery depends
<atom>' was to do exactly that - list any packages that depend on the
given atom. Or am I completely misunderstanding how the above 3 work?!
