Oops. |

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 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
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 |
