[gentoo-user] All ~arch users: do not update python
Updating python to 2.6.5_p20100801 will break portage. emerge will stop working after that and there's no information on how to recover from that right now (because emerge won't work, you can't downgrade to the previous, working python version.) Bug for this issue: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330937

If so, emerge should be using python3 not your eselected version.
