Why are latest unmasked 'dev-lang/python' packages so old?

 * Searching for python ...
[I-O] [  ] dev-lang/python-2.7.13-r1:2.7
[I-O] [  ] dev-lang/python-3.4.6-r1:3.4/3.4m
[--O] [M ] dev-lang/python-3.5.3:3.5/3.5m

[--O] [M ] dev-lang/python-3.6.1-r2:3.6/3.6m

I am interesting in latest stable python3 for newbie website development. I am interested in PHP since so popular, but also nginx, uWSGI, Django.

Django version	Python versions
1.8	2.7, 3.2 (until the end of 2016), 3.3, 3.4, 3.5
1.9, 1.10	2.7, 3.4, 3.5
1.11	2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
2.0	3.4, 3.5, 3.6
2.1	3.5, 3.6, 3.7

I wonder what dependencies portage has vis-a-vis eselect python list. I suppose setting eselect should not risk portage, right? The latest django package is 1.10.

 * Searching for django ...
[--O] [M ] dev-python/django-1.4.22:0
[--O] [M-] dev-python/django-1.5.12:0
[--O] [M-] dev-python/django-1.6.11:0
[--O] [M ] dev-python/django-1.7.11:0
[--O] [  ] dev-python/django-1.8.9:0
[--O] [  ] dev-python/django-1.8.14:0
[--O] [M ] dev-python/django-1.9.9:0
[--O] [  ] dev-python/django-1.10:0

Seems strange to me that the unmasked choices of python are so few and old.

You probably want to switch to python-kit 3.6 :)

In ego.conf, set:

python-kit = 3.6-prime
