I have done the migration to python 3.12.
The problem is that portage is pulling in python 3.11.

I have PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_12" in make.conf.
And:
app-eselect/eselect-repository python_single_target_python3_12
media-video/mpv python_single_target_python3_12
dev-util/glib-utils python_single_target_python3_12

In package.use

Putting PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12" in make.conf changes nothing.

The problem is that I'm on python 3.12 and portage is pulling in an 
older version.
