Using PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=35 you will encounter this issue fairly quickly.

Package A can handle python3 and requires py-expat, you build py35-expat.
Package B requires python2 and py-expat too, but now you have a work
directory for python3, and it fails to build.

Will likely not be a "real" problem for some time, but it's possible that
in the future, python3 packages will not support python2.

 "Works as intended". If you want things to clean up automatically, set
 DEPENDS_TARGET to something like "install clean".

 This is a long-standing problem, and AFAIK unless things have been
 vastly improved lately, if you do this *and* clean py-expat in between
 it will build another py35-expat (instead of a py27-expat) and then
 fail to install it.

apparently only pbulk should work for packages, 'make install' shouldn't just do the right thing.
