The root of the problem is really quite simple, you have a system with a python version python-updater doesn't like. The solution is actually quite simple: step 1. update python to 2.5, rebuild cracklib (afaik cracklib is the only system package that requires python), portage, gentookit.

A more conservative approach (which shouldn't break anything AFAIK, but will take longer) is; 1. Run python-updater to move everything from 2.3 to 2.4 2. Uninstall python 2.3 3. Do your full emerge -uvD to update to python-updater 0.5 and python 2.5 4. (optional, you could to it later)
