22 IIRC, python is slotted.

24 Run equery list -i python, you will see 2.2.3-r5 installed. Though I
25 am pretty sure you won't need it (according to the ewarn in the
26 2.3.5-r2 ebuild, if you run portage 2.0.49 and below you will need
27 python 2.2, otherwise, you should be able to just run
28 /usr/sbin/python-updater to rebuild all python packages for the 2.3
29 branch and unmerge 2.2.3-r5). If you are not sure whether you can
30 safely upgrade to python 2.3, run emerge --oneshot
31 =dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r6 to update to the latest stable python 2.2.
