I would look at python 3 - I couldn't emerge until only 2.6 was active. I don't know how but on the new machine I set up, python3 was selected as active, I set it back to 2.6 and everything was fine. From the output I can see there is a version of python 3 active. Maybe a red herring, if so, I apologies :)
When I had the problem I went on irc and it was suggested that I do a revdep-rebuild which I did also.
