IIRC, python is slotted.
Run equery list -i python, you will see 2.2.3-r5 installed. Though I
am pretty sure you won't need it (according to the ewarn in the
2.3.5-r2 ebuild, if you run portage 2.0.49 and below you will need
python 2.2, otherwise, you should be able to just run
/usr/sbin/python-updater to rebuild all python packages for the 2.3
branch and unmerge 2.2.3-r5). If you are not sure whether you can
safely upgrade to python 2.3, run emerge --oneshot
=dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r6 to update to the latest stable python 2.2.
