Yes, that is something I forgot to mention. I won't be putting
python-2.3.2 into ~ until the new portage is unmasked.

Probably to expand on that a bit. Basically, only pure python modules
can go in /usr/lib/site-python (this is supported in python) and
c-modules (bindings) can go into
/usr/lib/python${version}/site-packages.
There are a number of issues to address before this works, namely, how
.pth files will be installed and how we get distutils to distinguish the
two. I haven't looked into this in depth, but probably distutils has
something similar to prefix and exec_prefix like autoconf.
