I did python-updater as said by the ebuild. After it I did emerge -a --depclean which removed python 2.6 Boy I was I happy that I have daily backups. portage did not work anymore.
Changing the active python version before running python-updater gives a lot more packages. I did portage by hand. Just don't want to restore a backup two times a day.
