 I'm not Dmitry but I am using 3.1 too. 3.1 is set as default by stage1 for 
 some time now. No issues with 3.1 here though, at least none that
 are related to python.  Why do they set it default by stage1 and
 warn not to use it at the same time?

  Gentoo does not use that type of install anymore for standard installs.
Stage 1 is for experimentation and developers only, not for regular
users.  The rules that apply to stage 1 do not apply to ordinary
installs.  See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12

 How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball?
 
  The Gentoo Handbook only describes a Gentoo installation using
 a stage3 tarball. However, Gentoo still provides stage1 and stage2
 tarballs. This is for development purposes (the Release Engineering
 team starts from a stage1 tarball to obtain a stage3) but shouldn't
 be used by users: a stage3 tarball can very well be used to bootstrap
 the system. You do need a working Internet connection.

The last enews I read specifically warned *not* to turn on 3.1 and instead 
stay with the latest 2 version ...

Do you have a specific reason that compels you to try to make KDE work with 
3.1?

I'm not Dmitry but I am using 3.1 too. 3.1 is set as default by stage1 for 
some time now. No issues with 3.1 here though, at least none that are related 
to python. 
Why do they set it default by stage1 and warn not to use it at the 
same time?

If memory serves me right it was on this list that I picked up the idea
that things are working just fine with 3.1, not to mention that most
packages are smart enough to know which python they need with
PYTHON_API variables sprinkled around ebuilds. So I was quite surprised
to uncover this one.

Indeed package deps should take advantage of python3 as long as it has been 
installed, if the package needs python3:

  Title Python 3.1
  AuthorArfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
arfre...@gentoo.org
  Posted2010-03-25
  Revision  1

Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible
with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3,
so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3
installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created
to notify users.

Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python,
you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default,
modules that support both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed for both
the active version of Python 2 and the active version of Python 3 when both
Python 2 and Python 3 are installed.

It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. 
Especially
C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set,
then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set.
Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly
to upstream developers of given packages.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8.

This news item and the elog messages/warnings make me think that python3 time 
has not come yet.

YMMV
