In twisted's BDEPEND calls to python_gen_cond_dep, Python impl names
are passed after the depstring, and this looks like a way to limit
those dependencies to certain impls. python3_11 is omitted compared
to PYTHON_COMPAT so maybe the tests don't support that yet.
Note that python_gen_cond_dep from python-r1.eclass is different from
python-single-r1.eclass, it generates dependencies using
PYTHON_TARGETS instead of PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGETS.
