Well, theoretically it's still possible to have a python-2 only Gentoo 
install. In practice that is probably not very useful anymore since more and 
more packages require python-3 (meson, future icu, ...). So I don't really 
mind (and I suspect that some people from our python team will be secretly 
glad about it).

As for python-3 versions, python-3.4 is our "oldest", so no problem.

Cheers, Andreas
