6 emerge --depclean doesn't clean old slots. It will keep all installed versions
7 of python since at least portage requires it... emerge --prune will remove
8 old slots. It won't notice if the old slots are needed though.. (Which is
9 unlikely if he has run python-updater) ;) Finally if he did have python-2.3.x
10 installed it should show up on `equery list python`.
