That is my question. IIRC, python is slotted. Run equery list -i python, you will see 2.2.3-r5 installed. Though I am pretty sure you won't need it (according to the ewarn in the 2.3.5-r2 ebuild, if you run portage 2.0.49 and below you will need python 2.2, otherwise, you should be able to just run /usr/sbin/python-updater to rebuild all python packages for the 2.3 branch and unmerge 2.2.3-r5). If you are not sure whether you can safely upgrade to python 2.3, run emerge --oneshot =dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r6 to update to the latest stable python 2.2.
