Hm, well I'm just now updating my ~amd64 machine and I see that both python
and portage are about to be updated.  I'm still with the 2.1.x portage, so
I can't comment on the version you're running.  Were your python and portage
just recently updated?

Did you run python-updater after the upgrade?  Perhaps the python ebuild does
that for you, I'm not sure.  Anyway I'd run it again just to make sure.

This could be a new bug in portage, too.  I'd suggest downgrading to your
previous portage version -- but I'm not sure how safe that is.  Anyone else
know?
