I have a newer version of python already.  The one revdep-rebuild is
trying to access doesn't even exist in portage.  For example, I tried
your suggestion:

# emerge --oneshot --update python
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

# emerge -p python

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2

I'm at 2.3.5-r2, so I trying to figure out why revdep-rebuild is referencing
2.2.3-r5.  That is my question.
