i\'m not sure about this, but maybe re-extract the portage tarball/gentoo snapshot in the root directory?
have a look at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-5746-highlight-python+unmerge.html and http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/re-installing-python-from-gentoo-livecd-after-unmerge-584199/ the important part is, i believe: Code: # cd # tar xzf /usr/portage/distfiles/Python-2.2.1.tgz # cd Python-2.2.1 # ./configure --with-fpectl --infodir=/usr/share/info/ --mandir=/usr/share/man # make # make install prefix=/usr # rm /usr/bin/python 2>/dev/null # ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python
you might have to change the version number for python.
