I found this on the forum for you since you cant get there. Its how to manually re-install python.
# 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
This guy had a simular problem and he said this fixed it.
fede files # emerge rsync
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6, in ?
import os,sys,portage,emergehelp,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,shutil,traceback
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/threading.py", line 5, in ? import thread *ImportError*: No module named thread

I've never done this, but take a look at :

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and afterwards I still get:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6, in ? import os,sys,portage,emergehelp,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,shutil,traceback File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 10, in ? from select import * ImportError: No module named select
on any invocation of emerge. This is the same as before. :(
