Thanks for reporting this issue.  We found out how to fix it, but need
to make it go life still.  You can track bug 255073:

Hmmmm, those are really weird.

I think this should work.  My own MacBook Pro is running that as well
if I'm not mistaken.  It's worth fixing the python problem, since it
influences much more things than one would say from the looks of it.
Portage (and the environment) rely heavily on it.
