Just to clarify, I have python 2.7 as my default:

eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.4

The commands I referenced above were to set the default for --python3
only (from 3.3 to 3.4).  Version 3.3 was then deleted when I ran
emerge --depclean.

You might want to try running python-updater, though I'm not sure if
that will help.
