I did read the news item and set the systems as above with multiple python targets - there is no mention of python-exec and its role in which python version is in use for packages that just call "python". Perhaps I should have been clearer - what I see is with multiple python targets present the python ebuild automatically selects the latest version that is stable via python-exec - ok, some would want that. But what it should do is respect the users choice of running version and not automaticly overide it without asking. It looks like python-exec is the controlling factor so I'll try CONFIG_PROTECTon that file and manually manage it via ansible. BillK
