I'm getting the following from portage on a critical remote system:

Am I suppose to un-emerge python?

Perhaps you should update your python. Version 2.3 will be removed from
portage and is currently hardmasked. That triggers the depency bump.

'emerge -pv python' wants to install python-2.5.2-r5 in a new slot.
Should I unmerge python, emerge the new python, and run
python-updater?  Will portage work once python has been unmerged?  I'm
being cautious because this is a highly critical system for me.

NO, do not unemerge python befor installing the new one!!!

It looks like your python is quite old. do you have version 2.4 installed? Then just do emerge -C =dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 and run python-updater afterwards. Otherwise try to emerge python 2.5 in the new slot, run the python-updater and remove version 2.3 afterwards. Nevertheless after updating python-updater you should run " python-updater -ee -v -p" to see what should be still updated.
