Hi,
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.
Thanks. Now we are getting somewhere.
It was the "select" module that portage was complaining about, and when I compile python from source and install it I see this:
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I. -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2/./Include -I/u sr/local/include -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2/Include -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2 -c /home/andy/t mp/Python-2.2.2/Modules/selectmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/selectmodule.o gcc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/selectmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.2/se lect.so WARNING: removing "select" since importing it failed
Needless to say, python still does not have a select module after this python is installed. Now I need to figure out why it can't compile this and I may be part of the way towards fixing this.
