You should distinguish between Python version used by Portage and
Python version used by packages which can be installed by Portage.

Portage doesn't yet work with Python 3, but it hopefully change soon.

It isn't hard to write code which works with both Python 2.6 and 3.*.

Example:

$ cat get_protocol.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

# It allows to use print() function in 2.6.
from __future__ import print_function

import sys

try:
  # Python 3
  from urllib.parse import urlparse as urllib_parse_urlparse
except ImportError:
  # Python 2
  from urlparse import urlparse as urllib_parse_urlparse

if len(sys.argv) != 2:
  sys.stderr.write("This script requires 1 argument: URL\n")

def get_protocol(url):
  return urllib_parse_urlparse(url)[0]

print("Protocol:", get_protocol(sys.argv[1]))
$ ./get_protocol.py http://www.example.com
Protocol: http
