Just be sure to use "make altinstall" as your last step if compiling 
from source. That will avoid making a filesystem link to "python", and 
preserve the original. Then, you must use "#!/usr/bin/python2.3" in 
your 2.3 scripts if you wish.

PS. This is my first gentoo-user list post! :-) I am a new Gentoo 
user... But a long time Linux user. I like Gentoo a lot (except for 
the sloooow install... )
