An easy way is to get a quickpkg tarball of python from another machine |
15 |
and unpack that to / |
16 |
|
17 |
Or just untar the one on a recent install disk and re-install python. If |
18 |
all else fails I could send you a copy of python-2.5.1-r5 which is |
19 |
about 8M large |

For insurance, I keep quickpkg copies of critical stuff - python, gcc, |
22 |
glibc, portage - for just in case i make this same dumb mistake again |

myself |
